Send VA Veterans to Standing Rock
Donation protected
I want to head out with the Vets Standing for Standing Rock from December 4th through December 7th. If the group can already accommodate this the money raised will go straight to that group.
I'm trying to raise enough money to buy cold weather and defense gear, a gas mask and sleeping bag system to go with a large group of veterans to standing rock to stand up to the recent treatment of the water protectors at Standing Rock. The hope is that if these national guardsman and local government forces treat veterans the same way they have been treating the water protectors that America will pay more attention to this issue and Stop an unnecessary pipeline that is strictly being built to increase profits while endangering the environment around it. I appreciate anything that anyone could give, every little bit helps.
Update: the group has reached capacity and won't be able to afford the supplies/gear for everyone. I still plan on attending and could use all of the support you can give. Please share this with friends and family!
Update 11-30-2016: We still need donations. As I anticipated we will have to take on most of the travel costs. Thanks to everyone who has supported and donated!
