North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple activated the National Guard ahead of a ruling on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's lawsuit against the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is set to rule on an injunction challenging the Army Corps of Engineers' permits, arguing violations of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Over 1,000 people from more than 100 Native American tribes have gathered near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to resist the pipeline's construction, marking the largest tribal unification in decades. An update is provided by Tara Houska, national campaigns director for Honor the Earth.

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision

U.S. wetlands, vital ecosystems like marshes and swamps, face an urgent crisis. Half of these critical habitats in the lower 48 states have vanished since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision further stripped federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to destruction.

This loss devastates biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on wetlands, with over a third living exclusively there. Wetlands also protect water quality and mitigate flood risks. Act now: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.

Florida panthers, with likely fewer than 200 remaining, are confined to shrinking habitats in southwest Florida. Development isolates them, forcing dangerous crossings and increasing threats to their survival.

A new large-scale project now threatens nearly 5,000 more acres, promising more roads, vehicle strikes, and deadly conflicts over diminishing space.

The Center for Biological Diversity and partners are challenging federal approvals in court to stop this destruction. Please support our fight to protect these panthers before it's too late.

The vividly colored candy darter has been protected under the Endangered Species Act, with over 300 miles of streams in Virginia and West Virginia also proposed for protection. This federal decision follows a petition and litigation by the Center for Biological Diversity and its allies.

The darter has vanished from at least half its range, primarily due to pollution, competition, or hybridization. Although first identified as needing federal protection in 1982, action was delayed. The Center sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2015 to secure a court-binding decision, ensuring this imperiled animal finally receives the help needed to avoid extinction.

Bill critiques the hypocrisy of "justice for all" in a society that squanders billions on fraudulent wars while neglecting its poor. He specifically highlights the failing legacy of *Gideon v. Wainwright*, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that established the constitutional right to legal representation for indigent criminal defendants.

Despite this foundational right, true justice remains largely inaccessible and unaffordable for the most vulnerable. This report, originally published on March 29, 2013, argues that the promise of "justice for all" remains unfulfilled.

As a Federal Court ruling nears on January 5th, opponents warn the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Nevada is already damaging sacred sites. Lithium Nevada Corporation has begun digging test pits and installing infrastructure where Native Americans conduct ceremonies. Tribes argue this violates permit agreements, contending new authorizations terminated older ones, with attorney Will Falk suggesting the company is "lying to get a headstart" with BLM's approval.

Thacker Pass, or Peehee Mu'huh, is a sacred site for regional tribes, used for ceremonies, gathering, and as a massacre site. Tribal leaders emphasize their responsibility to protect these places, asserting the mine violates religious freedoms and consultation rights. The January 5th hearing is the final oral argument in lawsuits. Support protection efforts: https://givebutter.com/protectthackerpass. Learn more: https://ProtectThackerPass.org.
