Photo text reads: “Hello, my name is ________, and I stand with the water protectors at Standing Rock. I demand that the Army Corps of Engineers, Morton County Police and Highway Patrol, and National Guard rescind the evacuation notice. Not only is this environmental racism, but it violates yet another binding agreement between the United States and this land’s indigenous peoples. Additionally, we demand that no government body hinder or prevent any efforts to provide emergency supplies or any resources that the climate necessitates. Both the statement from the Army Corps of Engineers as well as the evacuation notice from Governor Jack Dalrymple are creating unsafe and potentially lethal sets of circumstances for the water protectors. These decisions are hypocritical in nature since they claim to be concerned for the health of the water protectors while depriving the Oceti Sakowin camp of the means to remain healthy in a harsh climate. The DAPL means environmental disaster for indigenous people who live on the land, and the planned illegal eviction of the Oceti Sakowin camp endangers the lives of the water protectors who recognize the hazardous consequences of the pipeline. Be on the side of history that stands up for democracy, indigenous rights, and a sustainable future for generations to come. Water is Life.” -- source link
