“They are apparently trying to market themselves as corporate mercenaries willing to abuse the legal system to silence legitimate advocacy work.”

A recent victory has sent the Army Corps of Engineers back to analyze the environmental justice effects of the Dakota Access pipeline.

Emails show that extent to which Energy Transfer Partners went to hire firms to discredit the Standing Rock water protectors.

Law enforcement and U.S. military efforts during the Los Angeles riots created more harm than good.

Grassroots and citizen opposition to the pipeline, which has been ongoing since the project’s original proposal in 2014, has intensified in recent months.

Spills are not the only problem.

The federal court decision could start a new chapter in the DAPL saga, beginning with dropping prosecution of water protectors.

"We are grateful and honored to accept the inaugural Henry A. Wallace Award and a grant from the Wallace Global Fund that will help us continue our resistance against the pipeline and transition to clean energy technologies like wind and solar."

Energy Transfer Partners are just one of the recent companies to utilize private military and security contractors. Looks like the private security genie is out of the bottle.
