WASHINGTON – In response to recent third-party subpoenas issued by Energy Transfer, which target Indigenous and environmental justice advocates, Ebony Twilley Martin, Executive Director of Greenpeace USA, said: “The operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer, is attempting to drag Indigenous and environmental justice advocates into this meritless lawsuit to stifle dissenting voices.

“For over six years, Greenpeace USA has been fighting lawsuits brought by Energy Transfer over the Indigenous-led resistance movement at Standing Rock. This type of legal bullying, known as Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, is part of the corporate playbook to silence and intimidate dissenting voices who lack the financial means to fight these lawsuits.

Energy Transfer is now attempting to expand this playbook by targeting Indigenous and environmental justice activists through the use of third-party subpoenas. Now is the moment for us all to come together to send a message to Energy Transfer, and other corporations considering this tactic, that we will not be silenced and we will not tolerate legal bullying.”

I.- Eve of the Journey for Life – Europe chapter.

A football challenge has been received from a European women's team that resists and fights.

SupGaleano has appointed himself “technical director” of the “Ixchel – Ramona” team, made up of militiawomen. As it should be, the Sup has studied the rival team. He gathers the companions who will make the trip. He analyzes in detail the skills and characteristics of each of the players. He goes to Subcommander Moisés and gives his diagnosis: “they are going to tear us into pieces.” SubMoy looks at it with a “so?” face, as if taking it for granted. But the now deceased has not finished: “But I have a secret plan, as Dení says. With that we will revolutionize football and redefine it in its essence: the game.”
