RESIST THE #NODAPL GRAND JURY
An inspiring show of solidarity today outside the court in Bismarck, where Steve Martinez made clear his intention to refuse to cooperate with a federal grand jury that is investigating Water Protectors. Steve made a statement to supporters outside before heading in:
My name is Steve Martinez. I have been subpoenaed to this federal grand jury. I refuse to cooperate with these proceedings on the grounds of not helping opposition towards water protectors. I will in no way condone or cooperate with this attempt to repress the movement here at Standing Rock. I know that by refusing to cooperate I will most likely be incarcerated. The loss of my own freedom is a small price to pay for keeping my dignity and standing up for what is right- the defense of the earth and all that is sacred. Mni Wiconi!
Steve Martinez then emerged from the federal courthouse in Bismarck, ND after being issued a federal grand jury subpoena. The judge denied the motion to quash the subpoena. His next court date is February 1st.

Against the fierce protests of Indigenous people, former president Donald Trump signed an executive order that endorsed its construction in 2017. That year, DAPL leaked at least five times.
A review of the pipeline's effects has never been conducted. Sioux activists (of Standing Rock and other Indigenous reservations) have been repeatedly brushed off—or worse. Multiple videos illustrate the police's use of force—rubber bullets, water cannons, and concussion grenades.
The federal government of the United States of America has yet again decided to rear its ugly head and make clear its apathy to the sovereignty and rights of Indigenous people.
Stand with Indigenous people, environmentalists, social advocates of all kinds.
Please.
The proposed Dakota Access Pipeline would transport 570,000 barrels of crude oil over a stretch of 1,154 miles, which activists say would th

Stay awake yall. This is the difference between having a sympathetic and nonsympathetic White House. Get loud. Call your reps. Contact the executive branches. We can't trust the number one in the country anymore; we'll have to do this on our own.
