Warren in Iowa
THANK YOU Sen. Elizabeth Warren for confirming your #NoKXLpledge to revoke Trump’s unilateral permits for the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and restore a #ClimateTest for all energy projects today at the Frank LaMere Native American Presidential Forum!
The KXL & DAPL pipelines were approved by Trump without consent of Tribal Nations or thought of climate change. I’m standing with tribal nations, farmers, ranchers, and environmental groups like @BoldNebraska, @IENearth, @MN_350, & @HonorTheEarth and taking the #NoKXLpledge.
”I will revoke the permits for the pipelines,” Warren says re: Keystone and Dakota pipelines. “They shouldn’t have been granted in the first place.” Loudest applause line yet.
