Emergency At Standing Rock
Stand With Standing Rock by helping Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) send activists and support to North Dakota. Authorities are resorting to extreme and life-threatening tactics to intimidate, harm, and even kill unarmed, peaceful protesters. Ground zero of the battle for clean water and sustainability is North Dakota, where Native Americans from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and supporters from around the country are putting their bodies on the line to stop the Dakota Access Pipe Line. (#NoDAPL).
We demand that the Obama Administration designate these sacred lands as a national monument to protect them from destruction. Further, we demand a tax on carbon and keeping carbonic fuels in the ground to preserve the environment and address the climate emergency before it's too late.
We are fundraising to help cover transportation cost for PDAers willing to make the trip to North Dakota. Please give all you can. Also, please let us know if you're willing to make that trip and when. Money tight? Sign up with Mike "Phone Guy" Fox to make calls from your home. Contact PDA Field Coordinator Judy Hess to launch or strengthen a PDA chapter.
