Sierra Club: Bad Craziness at Standing Rock
Bad Craziness at Standing Rock
Militarized police confronted and began forcibly removing Native and Indigenous activists and their allies, known as the Water Protectors, who were peacefully demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline on the ancestral homelands of the Standing Rock Sioux. Private and local security have increasingly resorted to aggressive tactics such as dogs, pepper spray, low-flying helicopters, and roadblocks to intimidate and invoke fear.
Stand with the Water Protectors by calling on President Obama to investigate and address rights violations associated with the Dakota Access Pipeline and to reject the pipeline once and for all.
