Islah Supply Run to Standing Rock
Donation protected
Islah Reparations Project is working with individuals in Santa Cruz, California to purchase and deliver supplies for the Standing Rock resistance camps as well as raise money for the legal fund. As soon as weather permits, Islah representatives will travel to North Dakota (at their own expense) to purchase locally and deliver the much needed supplies. Your donation is tax-deductible through the Islah Reparations Project. Visit www.reparations.org for more information.
The Dakota Access Pipeline has been blocked for now. However, the good news is tempered by the knowledge that Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) has made it clear that they intend to finish the pipeline. We are reminded that often political announcements are simply tactics created to delay and distract resistors. Water Protectors at Standing Rock have decided to remain on their ground to defend the sacred through the winter months.
Despite blizzards and sub- zero temperatures, the indigenous community and their loyal comrades will remain steadfast in this battle against the black snake. With the election of Donald Trump, a strong proponent and investor of fossil fuels, it is critical that we continue to support our Water Protectors leading up to his inauguration and beyond. While the intense weather conditions have increased the challenges faced by the resisters, we can help them stay strong.
Islah respresentatives will leave Santa Cruz, California flying to North Dakota (at their expense) to purchase the most crucial supplies locally and deliver your donations to the Water Protectors to support their steadfastness in the face of adversity.
We have been told directly by individuals in the camps that WATER, FIREWOOD, FOOD, AND EXTREME WEATHER CLOTHING are some of the top priorities at this time, and we are raising money to purchase these items for them.
NONE OF THE MONEY RAISED WILL BE USED TO FUND OUR TRIP. The money will ONLY be used to purchase the supplies and replenish the legal fund.
Your donation will help keep the Water Protectors warm, nourished, and with legal protection as they continue their fight against the black snake.
People on the ground at Standing Rock are faced with violence and arrests from the military presence everyday. Medics in the camps have warned that conditions are becoming life threatening for our Water Protectors. They need all the support that those of us watching around the world can give. Now more than ever it is critical that we stand up against greed and corporate power by perservering in our commitment to protecting the planet and putting people before profits.
