9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a challenge to Keystone pipeline, ruling case was no longer active due to Trump’s revocation of the permit. In March, Trump issued a new “presidential” permit for Keystone to spur construction of the pipeline.

"Keystone is a disaster waiting to happen; we will not stop fighting this misuse of power to disregard courts and environmental laws. We will explore all legal avenues to stop this pipeline from ever being built and endangering our communities and climate,” said Jackie Prange, senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Mark Hefflinger, communications director for Bold Alliance: “Tribal Nations will fight in the courts, despite ignoring our voices and environmental laws in favor of the Trump's attempt to fast-track an export pipeline that threatens our land, water and climate. We know this ten-year battle is far from over."

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
