Greenpeace offices around the county will be collecting camping, cooking, art, medical, and other supplies for the thousands of  indigenous and other people gathered to resist the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline would carry almost half a million barrels of water a day, endangering the lands of native tribes and others in four states as well as the water of the Missouri River.

Sacred Stone and Red Warrior camps have been blocking pipeline construction for weeks. Thousands of supporters from 100 native tribes and allies across the country have joined the resistance.

“People power is working,” says Greenpeace. On Sept. 3  bulldozers deliberately tore up a sacred site and security guards attacked pipeline resisters with dogs and pepper spray — but the resistance stopped the construction.  Six days later a federal judge turned down the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s request for an injunction against the pipeline — but the same day President Obama issued an order to stop construction in the area near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.

“Now is the moment to keep the pressure on,” says Greenpeace. “Resistance camp organizers have reached out for supply donations to keep the peaceful resistance going as long as possible.”
