It is with a made up mind and a wide open heart that I invite you to join me physically, by traveling with me to Standing Rock Reservation, or by generously donating money and/or supplies that are needed to sustain this compassionate protection of our water and human rights!
The people there need to eat, they need firewood for these cold nights, and so so much more. Planet Earth would be so very grateful if you could share this with it’s other inhabitants ;) aka with your family friends and Facebook community!
What will the collective money go towards?
- FIREWOOD (PREFERABLY OAK, MAPLE, ASH) ^^^ THIS IS ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST NEEDS
- GIFT CARDS FOR LOWES OR MENARDS (THERE IS NO HOME DEPOT NEARBY)
- NONPERISHABLE FOODS
- CASH
The follwoing is part of a conversation between me and a water protector who has been in North Dakota for many weeks now..
"Thank-you sister, I have to head back to Cali to pick up another supply truck. PLEASE raise as much funds as you can, I know the kitchens are in need of support with actual cash to restock on gas and refill propane tanks...winter structures and ready to go wood stoves are also needed as well as bulk non perishable foods."

By allowing the fossil fuel industry to occupy the land and rivers of the United States INSTEAD of SHIFTING to renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal, the government is putting private interest before the environment
"If you don’t understand what’s happening at Standing Rock or think protesting is a waste of time, remember that people coming together to speak out against something raises public awareness. This awareness eventually can lead to public policy changes.
Without labor unions taking to the streets in the 1800s, we wouldn’t have two days off a week or an eight-hour standard workday. Without people rallying together in the early 1900s, women wouldn’t have the right to vote—and we definitely wouldn’t have a major party nominating a woman for president. Without the March on Washington in 1963, we wouldn’t have seen the end of segregation or the legal end to voter discrimination.
At Standing Rock, it didn’t matter that I was a white person. It mattered that I went. What happens there—to the water, to the people, and to the land—affects all of us. If this movement fails, we will feel its echoes for years to come."
