Turn Water Back on to Standing Rock
Shutting off the drinking water supply to the protesters of the Dakota Access Pipeline is nothing short of barbaric! Please override the state's attempt to drive out the demonstrators by thirst immediately!
Why is this important?
The Standing Rock Lakota Sioux have garnered nation wide support in their protest against the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline, and the popularity and strength of numbers of the movement is rapidly growing. In response, the state government has moved to cut off the drinking water supply to the camps of peaceful protesters on Monday, August 23. It is imperitive that we as the United States do not allow illness or fatalities to occur to these people as a result of irresponsible, reactionary water deprivation.
