President Biden has taken important steps for the climate by re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement and canceling the Keystone XL pipeline. We need his administration to go further and also to cancel other dangerous projects like Line 3 and the Dakota Access Pipeline. These pipelines threaten our environment and disregard the sovereignty of the indigenous people. Today we are going to share the history of these pipelines with our front line guests and what President Biden must do to stop them.

About the guests:
Tara Houska (Couchishing First Nation Anishinaabe) is a tribal attorney, founder of Giniw Collective, and former Native American Affairs Advisor to Bernie Sanders. She was at the forefront of the battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline for six months and is currently engaged in fossil fuel defusion and a year-long battle against the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline. She is the co-founder of Not Your Mascots, a group that advocates positive representation for indigenous people.
She is TED spokesperson, the keynote “Harvard Interested” from Harvard 2017, received an “Awesome Women Award” from Melinda Gates, a Rachel's Network Catalyst Award in 2019 and is featured in National Geographic's “Women: A Century of Change”. Tara has written for the women's-led climate anthology All We Can Save, the New York Times, Guardian, Vogue, and Indian Country Today. She lives in a pipeline resistance camp in northern Minnesota.
Nalleli Cobo got involved in the community for the first time when she was nine years old. Growing up across from AllenCo Energy, an oil well in her community, Nalleli noticed that her health was deteriorating. She worked with her community to create a grassroots campaign called People not Pozos (fountain) in hopes of permanently turning off AllenCo's energy. Nalleli is a co-founder of the South Los Angeles Youth Leadership Coalition, a member of STAND LA who works tirelessly to create a 2.500 foot buffer between oil wells, homes, and sensitive land.
