Today, I am leading an amicus brief in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux, Cheyenne River Sioux, Oglala Sioux, and Yankton Sioux Tribes in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The pipeline must be shut down. #NoDAPL

The US has historically ignored the rights of Indigenous communities, taken their land & resources, and left them with little recourse.
This is no different—the Trump Admin illegally rubber stamped this pipeline with little consideration of the surrounding environment or people.

The vulnerable health of our planet links our fates. A decision in support of the Tribes would establish a valuable precedent for Massachusetts, other states, and their residents in their own challenges to environmentally harmful projects within their communities.
Environmental policies exist for a reason—to protect people and their health. Dakota Access cannot subvert these laws for their own gain.
Our coalition will #StandWithStandingRock. We ask the court act to protect the rule of law and Indigenous people.
