shadowkat Proof that Peaceful Protest that can work wonders, the Pipeline has been diverted around the lake in the Dakotas
BTW - this was the largest gathering of Native American Tribes in years, in one place, peacefully protesting. This weekend the tide changed, because 2000 Veterans drove up to Standing Rock and formed a human wall between the Protesters and the US government, stating they agreed with the protestors and would not permit this to go forward.
If we stand together, there is nothing we can't accomplish.

The US Army Corps of Engineers on Sunday announced they will no longer allow the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross under a lake near the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota, marking a huge win for Native Americans and protesters who had long opposed the construction.
“Today, the US Army Corps of Engineers announced that it will not be granting the easement to cross Lake Oahe for the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline,” Standing Rock Sioux Tribal chairman Dave Archambault II said in a statement sent to BuzzFeed News. “Instead, the Corps will be undertaking an environmental impact statement to look at possible alternative routes.
