I stand with Standing Rock, and there are a number of ways you can too. From the ACLU:

“In below freezing weather last night, law enforcement deployed tear gas, water cannons, percussion grenades, and rubber bullets against hundreds protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.

News reports confirm over 160 people have been injured.

This sovereign nation of the Standing Rock Sioux – one of many constantly threatened by environmental injustice – is fighting to keep its water safe and clean by means of an historic protest.

But law enforcement agencies are treating them like wartime enemies. Riot police raiding a protest camp even yanked indigenous people from prayer in sweat lodges.

North Dakota has received $3 million worth of military equipment from the federal government through the Defense Department’s 1033 program. On top of that, more than a half dozen states have sent equipment and officers to North Dakota.

Tell the DOJ to investigate possible constitutional violations and suspend police use of federally supplied military equipment.”

You can sign the ACLU’s petition to the Department of Justice here (just a few thousand more signatures are needed) HERE.

You can sign the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s letter to President Obama to permanently stop the pipeline HERE.

You can donate directly to The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s DAPL fund HERE.

And you can buy these awesome official fundraiser t-shirts HERE.
