Veterans stand for Standing Rock
On December 4, hundreds of veterans plan to “deploy” to Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota to join in protest against the planned Dakota Access Pipeline.
The event, Veterans Stand for Standing Rock, is a call for veterans to “assemble as a peaceful, unarmed militia” to “defend the water protectors from assault and intimidation at the hands of the militarized police force and DAPL security.“
A beautiful example of solidarity and courage! These veterans who have known the horrors of war and the sufferings of minorities understand the stakes of these historical events that are happening in Standing Rock, events that are a worldwide symbol for the legitimate defense of peoples against the oppressor. #Love it!
Amazing
currently at 2,100 veterans headed there this weekend, additional “shifts” of veterans are already filling up for upcoming missions
