Together, they spread their message loud and clear: reject the Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL) and stop all fossil fuel leasing in the Gulf of Mexico (#NoNewLeases). We know that we are all connected, that our fights are connected, and that to win, we need to join together. Here’s are some highlights from the actions on the ground.
