Activists with Standing Rock Sioux
– Artist’s Website –
An urgent call to support the Standing Rock pipeline protest camps in Cannonball, North Dakota.
This Standing Rock Sioux reservation with support from other nations has successfully halted construction of the 3.7 billion dollar Dakota Access Pipeline LLC project.
The proposed pipeline is 1,170 miles long and would deliver 570,000 barrels of Bakken crude oil per day. This pipeline would extend through 4 states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois) and 50 counties, crossing under the Missouri River twice, and over connected waterways 7 times. A broken oil pipeline would be disastrous for the water supply for Standing Rock Reservation. It would also be hazardous for the entire downstream Missouri River ecosystem that could threaten water supplies of other first nations reservations, farming communities, and many native plant and animal species. Clean water for over 10 million people would be at risk.
Join our community in gathering much needed supplies to support Water Protectors camping on the Cannonball river who have gathered peacefully in prayer to protect water for future generations. People interested can PM for more information and/or where to drop off supplies for the trip to Cannonball ND. We are also working on borrowing or renting a 22 – 26 foot truck and raising money for fuel.
