Join Iowans to take Pipeline fight to
Iowa Supreme Court!
Join the Bakken Pipeline Resistance
Coalition on Thursday March 16 to support Landowners and Iowans fighting
to protect our water and soil, to call on the Iowa State Supreme Court to put
the public interest over a for-profit out-of-state oil company!
Join us for a rally and speak out in
front of the Supreme Court Building to support the plaintiffs and to call on
the Iowa Supreme Court to put people before pipelines! One year ago, the Iowa Utility Board inappropriately granted the use of eminent
domain, approving the permit for Dakota Access to build their dirty crude oil
pipeline.
Iowa Law is clear, the IUB can only use eminent domain for public utility
projects and only if the services provided have a clear public benefit. The
Dakota Access Pipeline does not meet either of those criteria.
Our Government Officials have failed us by putting corporate profits over
landowner rights, so we are taking it all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court to
ensure that justice is served!
