Specify Alternate Text

January 24, 2017, Adrian, Michigan – In response to executive actions signed by President Donald Trump to advance the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines, the General Council of the Adrian Dominican Sisters has issued the following statement:

We call on President Trump to reverse these actions and take steps to lead our country toward a new carbon-free economy of the 21st century.
