am leaving for standing rock tomorrow along with rochester activist friends.
we will be driving straight to north dakota, for 23 hours, and hope to be there on monday dec 5, the day the camp is supposed to be forcibly broken up and evacuated. thousands of veterans plan on joining the camp on dec 4, in order to shield water protectors and their allies.
am taking beautiful verses from the quran with me, as this indigenous-led movement for clean water, respect for the earth and for the sanctity of life, is completely non-violent and deeply prayerful. hope to contribute however we can, support the camp against a possible shutdown, learn as much as possible from the standing rock sioux and other indigenous elders, and be back later in the week.
pls keep us in ur prayers and donate, support, help the movement in any way u can. more info here.
