The Camp of the Sacred Stones and the Red Warrior Camp have put out a call for weeks of solidarity action from September 3rd-17th. During this time the intention is to hold a gathering of solidarity in Edinburgh and to invite participation for other actions to show support for the protector camps in North Dakota.

The action in North Dakota is important on so many levels. It is a call for the rights of indigenous people to be respected and for the protection of the environment. It is also a reminder that the agreements made in Paris have so far had little impact and the fossil fuel industry is continuing with business as usual. This in itself is indicative of the lack of political will to actually bring about a change to our unsustainable habits of fossil fuel consumption.
