>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2016: - Fighting the pipeline in Iowa is Mississippi Stand (and keep up with the Mississippi Stand Facebook Page) as well as the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition (of many Iowa groups). Bold Iowa and IowaCCI are two of the more active or at least visible groups in the Coalition. On any day when there's no protection action shutting down construction in North Dakota, there's a good chance there will be one in Iowa.

1/14/17 Hello to all those struggling against oppression, and to our potential future allies still placated in the comfort of its privilege,We have received numerous questions regarding our status as an action caravan. Mississippi Stand has made the difficult decision to cease ground operations along the Dakota Access Pipeline for the time being. Members of our group have faced long term exhaustion, felony charges, and a Goliath enemy for many months and our on-the-ground effectiveness is no longer strategically beneficial due to these reasons and the fact that Energy Transfer Partners has finished laying DAPL pipe in Iowa.
