Mass Action in Montpelier on December 5th to De-fund Dakota Access Pipeline & Stop Human Rights Abuses

Where: Meet at Christ Church, 64 State St., Montpelier
When: Mon Dec 5 @ 9 am
Organized by: Central VT SURJ, Central VT Climate Action, Upper Valley Affinity Group, the Make, Rising Tide VT

The governor of North Dakota has issued an order to break up the Oceti Sakowin Camp (the largest camp at Standing Rock), effective immediately. On November 28, police and National Guard used tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, sound grenades, and water cannons in subfreezing conditions against thousands of people. Hundreds of people were injured. Our solidarity efforts are needed now more than ever.

In this action, we will demand an end to all human rights violations against the water protectors and their allies and that the treaty rights of the Standing Rock Sioux be upheld. We will demand that dishonest, violent, racist, and unjust treatment of indigenous peoples end NOW.

This action is for those who are willing to risk arrest as well as those who intend to support without risking arrest.
