Southern Oregon Stands With Standing Rock

Start: Wednesday, February 08, 201712:00 PM

End: Wednesday, February 08, 2017 1:30 PM

Calling Southern Oregon to come together in prayer and nonviolent protest to stand with Standing Rock tomorrow. This could be their LAST STAND.

FINAL DAPL EASEMENT WAS APPROVED TODAY. Drilling under the Missouri River could start as soon as tomorrow.

The Indigenous Coalition at Standing Rock have called for tomorrow, February 8th, to be an international day of EMERGENCY actions, and have sent the following message: "We are calling for emergency actions all over the world. PLEASE, THIS IS OUR LAST STAND".

We will be gathering at the Plaza as allies and in solidarity with the Water Protectors. Those who have been to Standing Rock will be invited to come forward and speak. We will then walk through the streets, and past the banks in peaceful protest against today's decision to move ahead with the project.

Please bring signs to show your support.

We will also be raising funds (as requested by The Indigenous Coalition at Standing Rock) to donate to the legal defense of water protectors who are likely to be facing intensifying repression.

MORE INFORMATION:
"Today, Tuesday February 7, the US Army Corps gave notice of intent to grant the final easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline to cross the Mni Sose (Missouri River). They have the EIS ordered in December, and skipping the congressional notification period required by law. This is a response to President Trump’s Presidential Memorandum directing the Corps to expedite approval of the project.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe will likely sue and ask for a temporary restraining order to halt construction while the legality of this decision is reviewed in court. In the meantime, DAPL will likely start drilling immediately. The media recently reported that DAPL says their "best case scenario" timeline is 83 days from easement to oil flow."
