Election Day and Standing Rock
We recently received this email from Tracy B. Ann and wanted to share! This is how we can help with #NoDAPL on #ElectionDay!
Help Get Out The Vote for Standing Rock in North Dakota: “With the whole nation, and even many parts of the world, watching with growing interest what is happening at Standing Rock, this is the perfect time for us to reach out and help North Dakota. As outside oil interests, with the help of current government officials, try to steamroll a pipeline past citizens and the First People of North Dakota, it’s a chance for us to go into action. There are people running for office in North Dakota who would not have allowed this in the first place, would have stopped it in the second place and never would have let peaceful protesters be attacked in the third place.”

We can start by sharing this on our Facebook and asking them to share as well!
The simple math of “6 degrees of separation” says we will reach a whole bunch of voters in ND with this list of candidates who can, and will, do something about this and future pipelines.
