President Trump is selling our environment.
One of President Obama’s last acts was to halt work on the Dakota Pipeline. He chose long-term environmental protection and respect for promises to indigenous people over short-term job gain.

Standing Rock has become a symbol of solidarity and resistance. We need to demand that our leadership stop looting our precious resources.
Let’s throw out the bums and elect wiser people who understand climate change.
