“If we’re going to build back better, as Biden says, we’ll need to end dangerous pipeline construction, prevent all new fossil fuel infrastructure, and Build Back Fossil Free,” said Brooke Harper of the environmental advocacy group 350.org in a statement Thursday.
According to 350.org, over 300,000 people across the country have signed petitions demanding Biden stop the Line 3 and the Dakota Access (DAPL) pipelines, which the group delivered to the administration, along with hosting a digital rally on those projects and calls for considering the climate in decisions about future ones.
“Fossil fuel companies have destroyed our planet and harmed our communities irreparably, specifically Black, Indigenous, and communities of color,” said Harper. “Now we’re rising to secure the livable future we all deserve, which means an end to Line 3 and DAPL and the enactment of a climate test.”
