Trouble the Waters:

How to Support the Standing Rock Water Protectors

God is troubling the waters, stirring us up to act on God’s behalf.

Join the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline by supporting

the Standing Rock Water Protectors.

 Come together to pray, act, and spread the word!

From Sunday, Dec. 4, to Wednesday, Dec. 7, join together at your church or home to call and write the government authorities who can stop the attacks on the Water Protectors, to demand that the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe be consulted, listened to and respected, and to stop the pipeline. Watch live feeds on Facebook to monitor what is happening (look at the pages for Oceti Sakowin Camp; Standing Rock Rising; Dallas Goldtooth; Myron Dewey; Clergy Standing With Standing Rock). Then, flood social media with your efforts, using the hash tag #StandwithStandingRock.

 Sample script: I am calling/writing/emailing in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in its fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. I am appalled by the violation of civil, constitutional and human rights taking place at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Please intervene to stop the atrocities and the pipeline.

Tell the world that you Stand with Standing Rock!
