Ways to support Standing Rock #NoDAPL

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

Here is information from the Facebook page of United American Indians of New England (UAINE) about how to support #NoDAPL to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Go to North Dakota if you can! Water protectors, lawyers, builders, workers and non-complainers are needed. Study and prepare first!

Here’s a list of various ways you can donate and support: tinyurl.com/zvxvlnv/.

Also please donate to the Mni Wiconi school at the camps, doing a great job working with the children and youth: youcaring.com/mn-wi-h-ni-nak-i-i-ow-yawa-675427/.

Don’t do business with TD Bank, Citigroup, Mizuho or other banks funding the Dakota Access Pipeline: nodaplsolidarity.org/targets/.

Help spread the word, since the corporate media have mostly not covered the story, and much of what they have done has been biased. On social media, look for the hashtag #NoDAPL to get updates.

Take action locally. Support anti-fracking and anti-pipeline struggles locally. Support Indigenous struggles locally. Get your organizations, labor unions or other groups to support and take action.

Demand that politicians take a stand and commit to canceling the project and support the Water Protectors at Standing Rock. Call President Barack Obama 9-5 EST at 202-456-1111 and demand that the federal government cancel the Dakota Access Pipeline project in all areas where it is being constructed.

Join with others taking action at events and campaign offices. Raise awareness in every possible way.

Please share this.

This is something everyone needs to know about. What are the best ways to help them if we don’t have the ability to get out there and stand with them?

I’ve seen tweets like this one with suggestions on how to help from afar.

Yes! This article includes some strategies people are undertaking online to help the DAPL protestors from home.

Sharing, please pass this on.

“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.”

[two tweets by scare-acotta warrior (@suntzufuntzu) that read: Reminder that DAPL was re-routed through Standing Rock because Bismarck’s residents feared it would poison their drinking water.

The Sioux are literally being forced at gunpoint to accept ecological risks that North Dakota’s white residents refused.]

Please pass this on, far and wide.
