As we approach the end of 2021, Stop the Money Pipeline is raising money for two powerful organizations: the Giniw Collective and RISE St.James.
The Indigenous-led Giniw Collective has been leading the fight to stop Line 3. In 2021, they trained more than 1,000 activists in direct action and organized dozens of actions that directly stopped the construction of the Line 3 pipeline.
Despite being beaten, maced, and shot with rubber bullets, Giniw Collective activists stood firm in their defense of Mother Earth all year long. The vast majority of the arrests that happened this year in the fight to stop Line 3 were organized by the Giniw Collective and their actions played a pivotal role in sparking the national movement to stop the toxic pipeline.
Giniw Collective founder, Tara Houska, has also been a leading advocate in the fossil fuel divestment movement for years, and in 2021 she helped to found and lead the #DefundLine3 campaign, which sparked a national movement of hundreds of protests at bank branches around the country.
Looking forward, the Giniw Collective will be continuing the fight for Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice by training hundreds of more activists in direct action and Indigenous teachings. Please donate to this fundraiser to support their work.
RISE ST. James is a Black-led community organization based in St. James Parish, Louisiana. A part of what is known as “Cancer Alley”, the majority Black town of St. James is home to a shockingly high number of polluting industries ― and RISE St. James is the leading organization fighting back against this environmental racism.
In 2019, RISE galvanized community opposition and defeated plans for a $1.25 billion plastics manufacturing plant. Now, RISE is fighting to stop Formosa plastics from building a toxic huge petrochemical complex just blocks from an elementary school.
Since Hurricane Ida wreaked havoc across the region, RISE has also added mutual aid to work: rebuilding homes, cleaning up yards, and providing countless hot meals to community members working to get back on their feet.
Please donate today to support the incredible work of the Giniw Collective and RISE St.James
All money raised will go directly to the Giniw Collective and RISE St. James. Stop the Money Pipeline will not keep any of the money raised.
