No.

But that’s bullshit

You walk into a grocery store and you’re surrounded by art. Who do you think designs the packages? Fucking artists. Who do you think designed your house? Your bedsheets? Your car? Artists.

This list was shared with me and I thought I’d share it incase some of you find it useful, no matter where you are in the world. It contains information on how to get to Standing Rock, learn more about it, and alternative ways you can help.

“So when you talk about Standing Rock, please begin by acknowledging that this pipeline was redirected from an area where it was most likely to impact white people. And please remind people that our people are struggling to survive the violence of colonization on many fronts, and that people shouldn’t simply engage with or retweet such stories when they see a concrete connection to their own issues — or a jumping off point to discuss their own issues. Our friends, allies and accomplices should be fighting alongside us because they value our humanity and right to live, in addition to whatever else they believe in.”

Show your support for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and all our water protectors! Each of these items are for sale by various Native-owned businesses, and the proceeds will be donated towards supporting the SRST and the Sacred Stone Camp. See individual websites for details.
