We’re hosting a supply drives at Greenpeace offices across the country on Monday, Sept 12 and Monday, Sept 19 to collect much-needed donations for the water protectors at the Standing Rock Sioux resistance camps. Here’s how you can participate.
Demonstrators at a solidarity rally for Dakota Access Pipeline activists in Washington, DC.
Robert Meyers
For months, the Standing Rock Sioux and their allies have been peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline project, which will carry more than 400,000 barrels of crude oil a day across their ancestral lands and under the Missouri River. If the pipeline leaks or spills, it could dump hundreds of thousands barrels of crude oil in the Missouri River less than a half mile downstream from the tribe’s water supply.
The momentum created by Indigenous activists at Standing Rock is getting results. Resistance camp organizers have reached out for donations of camping, cooking, art, and other supplies to keep the growing peaceful opposition to the pipeline going as long as possible.
