Call the Army Corps and demand they stop the Dakota Access pipeline now
On November 20th the Morton County Sheriff's office put Standing Rock water protectors in grave danger. Over 160 people were injured, including an elder who went into cardiac arrest and several people treated for rubber bullet injuries to the face. One person faces amputation after a "less-than-lethal" projectile ripped through her arm.
Police fired water cannons at the protectors for at least six hours in below freezing temperatures, exposing them all to hypothermia. Medical professionals at the camp called for a cessation of this tactic because of the real threat that people could die. And Morton County law enforcement just kept drenching water protectors in water, tear gassing them, firing concussion grenades and using sonic weapons against them.
Call the Army Corps of Engineers and tell them to pull the permits for the Dakota Access pipeline and stop this project before someone is killed.
After your call, fill out this form to tell us how the call went.
Morton County law enforcement is already claiming that they were putting out fires started by the protectors, but several livestream feeds, including the one we followed all Sunday night, show that the fires were started by Morton County officers and their tear gas and concussion grenades. Do not let them get away with telling this lie!
Law enforcement cannot be allowed to torture people who are fighting to maintain clean drinking water and preserve their sacred sites. We cannot sit idly by while people are brutalized like this.
Call the Department of Justice and demand they investigate and charge the Morton County Sheriff's Department for these life-threatening attacks on peaceful unarmed protectors immediately!
