Name: Protect Withlacoochee River from Sabal Trail @ US 84
Start: 2016-09-17T09:00:00-04:00
End: 2016-09-17T12:00:00-04:00
Location: US 84 Bridge over the Withlacoochee River between Quitman and Valdosta

Get in the picture on the bridge with boats at the proposed pipeline crossing in the background, on US 84 over the Withlacoochee River, half way between Quitman and Valdosta, GA. You, and the news media, too, are invited this Saturday 9AM! You may have seen Tuesday’s Suwannee River action on WCTV; you can come join us at the Withlacoochee River Saturday. No Dakota Access Pipeline #NoDAPL, No Sabal Trail #NoSabalTrail, #WaterIsLife.

Help demand the Army Corps re-evaluate its permit for Sabal Trail just like its permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Both pipelines should be canceled: keep it in the ground!

This WWALS Outing is part of the #NoDAPL Solidarity Weeks of Action Sep. 3-17 (https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/nodapl-solidarity-week-of-action), tying the Dakota Access oil Pipeline to the Sabal Trail fracked methane pipeline through their ownership by the same companies (http://www.wwals.net/2016/09/10/same-owners-dapl-and-sabal-trail/). This outing is also a followup to the Waterkeeper Alliance letter in support of the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) (https://waterkeeper.org/robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-waterkeepers-worldwide-stand-in-solidarity-with-sioux-nation-to-stop-dakota-access-pipeline/). The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is going to re-evaluate its permit for DAPL (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/joint-statement-department-justice-department-army-and-department-interior-regarding-standing), and it should do the same for its permit for Sabal Trail, because USACE also did not properly evaluate evidence including a hydrology report organized by Bobby C. Billie, one of the Clan Leaders and Spiritual Leader, Council of the Original Miccosukee Simanolee Nation Aboriginal Peoples (http://www.wwals.net/2016/07/01/new-hydrology-report-exposes-sabal-trail-pipeline-risk-to-floridan-aquifer/).
