Palestine #NoDAPL Solidarity Action
Spende geschützt
Family and friends - Please donate to support a group of Palestine activists and allies heading to North Dakota to collectively protest and say #NoDAPL.
A minimal donation will help cover travel and sustenance for caravaners. This includes gas, van rental, food for our journey and camp supplies during our stay. A majority of donations will contribute to our collective offering to camp tribal leaders. All donations collected after September 19th will go directly to our Native comrades and siblings at the Camp of the Sacred Stones and the Red Warrior Camp.
Any amount of money helps. Let the Native community know that we stand with them in their fight against DAPL and all attempts to erase and destroy their history and tribal lands.
For more information about why Palestines and solidarity allies support the #NoDAPL movement, please read the below excerpts from our formal statement.

The Palestinian Youth Movement - United States Branch, stand in solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux, the Great Sioux Nation, and our other Native sisters, brothers, and siblings in the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which will span across four states, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois, and cross over the Missouri River. While supporters of the pipeline claim that the DAPL will benefit workers and communities alike with environmentalism(1) as a focal point, both through job opportunities and increased availability of fuel and energy, we see that the DAPL is another opportunity to destroy Native environment and is an example of the continued invasion and violence upon Native land and against Native people. We condemn all forms of state violence against our First Nation siblings and denote that the undermining of their sovereignty and livelihood is a part of the continuing dialectic of settler-colonialism transnationally.
As Native communities face an ongoing genocide and continue to resist the imperialist settler-colonial regime of the United States, Palestinians are too experiencing a genocide and ethnocide within our homelands from the settler-colonial state of Israel. Native communities have been displaced and relocated, just as Palestinians face mass internal displacement, home demolitions and life in exile from our homeland. Native communities continue to face the destruction and degradation of their land and water with restricted access to resources and delegitimization of sovereign authority and of treaties. Palestinians live under a structure of apartheid, militarized occupation, and settler-colonialism, which too has lead to the pollution of and lack of access to drinkable and potable water within the West Bank, Gaza, and refugee camps. This imposed structure by Zionist(4) forces has denied the Right of Return to Palestinians who wish to visit or live on their ancestral lands, has resulted in the disintegration of farmland to build settlements, uprooted native plants to replace them with plants that are foreign to native soil and invasive species, and built state-sponsored institutions on top of historic cemeteries and homes.
As Palestinians in the United States, we are exiled from our homeland while living as settlers upon Turtle Island. It is imperative that we demand recognition of the rights of Native nations and their people while building movements together with one another so that we can strengthen our collective call for justice. We call for an end of the Dakota Access Pipeline. We demand that the United States honor the treaties as the supreme law of the land and payment of governmental reparations.
Water is life for all of us.
Free the land.
Free the people.
Long live International Solidarity.
PYM – USA stands with Standing Rock. NO to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
