RF Valley Support for Standing Rock
Donation protected
WATER IS LIFE.
We are volunteers/ water protectors/ activists from the Roaring Fork Valley who are onsite in Standing Rock, North Dakota.
We stand in peaceful protest, prayer and solidarity with the Sioux. Stand with us. The needs we ask for are real and immediate.
We set up the kitchen at the top of Sacred Stone Camp and are now also working as the entry ambassadors to orient people as they arrive to support the tribe.
UPDATED SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14
Once on site it quickly became apparent that monetary funding will be much more effective than continuing to find ways to transport donations between Colorado and North Dakota.
IMMEDIATE NEEDS:
CASH DONATIONS will support: food, propane for cooking and various kitchen needs.
SPECIFIC ITEMS:
Looking for a larger military or cowboy tent 20'x30' ish.
Metro shelves, Cots, and a solar panel inverter.
HOW DID WE GET INVOLVED?
Inspired by the activist muse Suzanne Sterling at the Lead with Love Retreat in Aspen, Colorado we mobilized and have experienced extraordinary support. PLEASE KEEP IT COMING! THANK YOU.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
From a federal government standpoint the issue at hand is Native rights. The threat to the nation's water (and consequentially food supply) is the motivation for INDIGINEOUS TRIBES AND CULTURES FROM AROUND THE WORLS to band together to protect the earth and future genetations of life.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe has opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline since first learning about plans for the pipeline in 2014. In recent months the issue has heated, as thousands of protesters—including many Native Americans—have gathered in North Dakota and are successfully blocking the 1,200-mile project.
With both supporters and opponents vowing to fight through the harsh North Dakota winter, the battle shows no signs of ending anytime soon. The supporters spirits are strong and ready for the long winter. Please join the efforts of the Roaring Fork Valley to sustain them with food. The need is high and we aspire to provide the highest quality nutrition to those who are dedicating thier lives to defending clean water for all of us.
Our new president elect has multiple ties to investments in DAPL. President Obama has taken no action. If nothing else, please call these numbers in support of our native brothers and sisters, in support of mama earth and in support of your great-great grand children.
