Water Protectors in Paris said:
The May 21st Paris event was at the Place de la Republique, in solidarity with the No-DAPL struggle and the struggle against Texas LNG.
"The place the la République is a really important square in the recent french history cause. It is where the Nuit Debout took place in Paris. Nuit Debout was a big social movement against a law changing the work conditions. The event was shaped a bit like a Nuit Debout with the general assembly."
The idea of this event was to show support of the tour, but mostly to explain why divestement is important and why carrying this divestment message here in Europe is relevant. Also the message was about the importance of international Solidarity especialy with First Nations struggling in the Turtle Island and everywhere.
"We also wished it to be a time of exchange between US and french struggle. We had intervention from 350.org, Friends of the Earth France, CSIA Nitassinan, Terres et Hommes, End Ecocide, activists from the struggle against the Notre-Dames-Des-Landes airport, activists from the struggle against nuclear waste in Bure, the NoTAP mouvement (against a Gas Pipeline in Italy)."
The event was co-organised by Alternatiba, Nuit Debout, Friends of the Earth France and CSIA Nitassinan. It ended with the concert of Nataanii Means and Rafael Gonzales known as Tukawon, both activist from the no-DAPL movement.
After Paris, water protectors head to Brussels:

Native American water protectors from Standing Rock camps began their European Tour in Paris yesterday rallying against fossil fuels, Dakota Access Pipeline, and destructive drilling and mining on Indigenous lands.
Water protectors called out for freedom for imprisoned water protector Red Fawn and remembered Berta Caceras assassinated in Honduras.
The European Tour begins as water protectors urge banks to divest in destructive energy development and Standing Rock water protectors birth a global movement.
