Bold Iowa and Iowa CCI are activating the more than 2,500 signers of the Bakken Pipeline Pledge of Resistance to join us this Saturday, Oct. 15 in west central Iowa for our next nonviolent direct action to stop construction on the Dakota Access pipeline.

In addition to those planning to risk arrest, we will need support teams for all arrestees, as well as folks to stand with us in solidarity, hold signs, and help document the direct actions.

If you plan to risk arrest, you *must* attend the nonviolence training at 10:00 a.m., or must have previously attended a nonviolence training with us.

Those planning to risk arrest are asked to prepare for that possibility by bringing $300 in bail money — there are also limited funds available for those who do not have personal funds to cover bail and court costs.

We do not take this step lightly, but Dakota Access is trampling sovereign rights, abusing eminent domain for private gain, and threatening our land, water and climate.

Can’t join us? Chip in $5, $8, $20 or whatever you can to support the Bakken Pledge Legal Defense Fund.

Thanks for standing with us.

Bold Iowa, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, CREDO Action, and 100 Grannies for a Livable Future.
