Blockading the Trans-Pecos Pipeline in West Texas

Members of the Society of Native Nations and the Big Bend Defense Coalition halted construction of the Trans-Pecos pipeline by locking themselves to heavy equipment and occupying the work site. This pipeline is owned by Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) the same company behind the Dakota Access pipeline. This is a private, for-profit pipeline abusing the eminent domain process to cross the border with Mexico and export natural gas. But not without a fight. Water protectors from across the country, including the brave folks at Standing Rock, are converging on the Two Rivers camp to stop this pipeline and protect life, land and water.

The Trans Pecos and all its beauty is a highly unique and fragile place which should be protected. The water which runs into and out of Balmorhea Springs is apparently threatened by oil and gas, and we should be very very careful about how we proceed

How really strange and sad this hateful comment, Gbell. THE FIRST AMERICANS love this land and have taken good care of it for everyone who lives here. Maybe you have to feel/understand the real American land and water and sky and animals and plants to feel as one here--and to respect all Americans.

Keep it up guys....don't let the negative and ignorant statements of some hurt you...do not respond to them...do not give them credence and therefore strength. People please start signing where you are located & mention something specific about who/what you are....lay emphasis on the fact that this movement is spreading among people from many walks of life... -Signed - 58 year old disabled white guy living with AIDS in N. Calif. (Humboldt County) I am a 30 year survivor of this illness and I know about fighting and a refusal to give up and the positive results that can come from a person(s) exercising "Productive Defiance!!" Bless you all.

keep fighting in Dakota and texas and everywhere even if the pipeline get 95% finished. that will still prevent oil from flowing. Don't give up
