Protest against INGs funding of the Dakota Access Pipeline
Waar: ING head office, Amsterdamse Poort Bijlmerplein 888, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wanneer: 01/12/2016 - 14:39
JOIN US on December 1 at 6pm @ ING headquarters to collectively reject the notion of our money being used to support investment in the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is a proposed 1,172-mile long pipeline beginning in the Bakken fields of North Dakota and transporting fracked oil to Illinois. ING, a bank that recently claimed to be 'recognised as a world leader for corporate action on climate change,' is one of the 17 banks directly funding the pipeline.
ING published a press release on the 2nd of November addressing some concerns: https://www.ing.com/ing-in-society/sustainability/ing-and-the-dakota-acc...
Many questions remain:
1) How is this investment 'in line with ING's policy' when it so clearly goes against environmental progress and human rights?
2) Does ING know exactly how their funds are being spent and is any of the money supporting the heavily militarised DAPL security and police force?
3) Who is the 'external independent consultant' and why has there been no update since the beginning of November?
4) Are they sure that the project 'complies with the law'? Construction continues even though no easement has been granted by the US Army Corps of Engineers to drill under the river until further notice.
The largest bank in Norway, DNB, have already sold their assets in DAPL after receiving a petition with 120,000 signatures.
ING, one of the most widely-used banks in the Netherlands, has failed in its commitment to sustainable and ethical banking. We urge all ING customers to join us at 18:00 at the ING corporate headquarters and collectively reject the notion of our money being used to support environmental destruction and the violation of human rights.
We urge ING to give up their financial stake in the Dakota Access Pipeline and will collectively end business with the corporation on December the 1st.

The Global Solidarity Campaign

The Red Warrior Camp calls on all People from around the world to take action and join the Global Solidarity Campaign. If you live on this land, breathe the air and drink water, this is your fight too.
Our Brothers, Sisters and Protectors are putting their bodies and lives on the line everyday on the frontlines in Standing Rock. First and foremost, we call upon ALL protectors to come stand with us on the frontlines. If you cannot be physically present, you can still take escalated action to stop the pipeline and support our struggle.
The projected in service date for the Dakota Access Pipeline is January 1st, 2017. With that date quickly approaching, we are calling for two months of sustained waves of action targeting the Army Corp of Engineers, investors, pipeline companies, security firms and elected officials who are behind this project. We need to hold these institutions, corporations and individuals accountable and put pressure on them to stop this pipeline.
These are the ways to join the fight:
- Organize yourself and/or large groups of people from your community to come to Standing Rock. Contact us at Organizing(at)NoDAPLSolidarity.org to discuss details and schedule a time frame.
- Take action in your communities. Target the Army Corp of Engineers, banks, pipeline companies, corporations and elected officials behind the pipeline. Taking action includes lock-downs at offices, sit-ins, taking up space, rallies, call-in days, divesting from banks, mass mailings and interruptions. Register at NoDAPLSolidarity.org to join our network of Global Solidarity.
- Send monetary support to: Official Red Warrior Camp Fund: www.gofundme.com/redwarriorcamp; Official Legal Fund: www.generosity.com/fundraising/red-warrior-camp-legal-fund-nodapl
We want people to recognize that this fight is much larger than Standing Rock. When the Dakota Access Pipeline is defeated, the fight is not over. There are communities around the world fighting against the exact same corporations and systems that we currently fight against in Standing Rock. This is about Indigenous rights, Human rights and the rights of Mother Earth being violated for corporations and their profit. This is about a capitalist system that allows for these violations to continue around the World. This is about recognizing that with the energy created at Standing Rock and those organizing at Standing Rock have a responsibility to uplift the shared struggles of ALL Peoples, from all directions of Mother Earth if we wish to pass down a healthy world to future generations.
Additionally, recognizing that we are being charged with illegal activities for simply protecting the water, we are taking back our power and charging the pipeline companies, banks and individuals behind this project with crimes against Humanity and crimes against Mother Earth. The Dakota Access Pipeline is in direct violation of the United Nation’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, most especially around the right to free and prior informed consent, desecration, redress, militarization, development, treaties and judicial proceedings.
In addition, the Dakota Access Pipeline is in direct violation of the United Nation’s Declaration of Universal Human Rights, most especially in regards to the right to security of person, the right to not be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
The sacredness and power of the Water is what brought us together. It is what connects us. We cannot lose sight of that. That is why we are asking people to use the hashtag #WorldWaterOne.
Please stay active and check out the website NoDAPLSolidarity.orgto get involved!
December 1st is a Global Day of Action for #NoDAPL, and a kick off for the Month of Action. On December 1st we are asking people to shut down the banks that are funding DAPL, close your personal accounts at these banks and pressure police departments to permanently withdraw from Standing Rock.
