November 15, 2016 is a National Day of Solidarity for opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Please join us on November 15, 2016, 4:30-7:30, Free Speech Wall, at the Pavilion end of the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, as we stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribal nations in their battle to protect their land and communities from the unnecessary and unwanted onslaught of large diameter pipeline infrastructure. This battle is about clean water for their people. The Standing Rock Sioux are using their national sovereignty to protect their water.

Energy Transfer Partners has ignored the Obama Administration’s call to voluntarily halt construction and continues to desecrate sacred places. They have proven time and time again that they are more interested in money than the health and well being of the 17 million people who get their drinking water from the Missouri River. They have bulldozed over the burial grounds of Lakota and Dakota ancestors and have no regard for the sanctity of these places.

Please bring signs and Banners for display.
