Running for the Water

(Above and below)  Standing Rock and Cheyenne River youths ran to the Cannonball River in North Dakota, sending a clear message to President Biden to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Lakota youth runners, who initiated the Standing Rock resistance in 2016, were supported around the nation and world with solidarity actions this week. The youths ran the 93-mile relay in sub-zero temperatures.

“We did this for one simple reason: the Dakota Access pipeline is illegal. It was pushed on our community, ignoring our treaties, just like Line 3,” said Jordin Sam, member of the Standing Rock Youth Council. "To Build Back Fossil Free, Biden must shut down DAPL and stop Line 3."

“We ran for the water just as we did four years ago. Biden has the opportunity to do right by Indigenous communities and must shut down DAPL and Line 3,” said Joseph White Eyes, member of the Cheyenne River Grassroots Collective. "Pushing these projects without our consent is ruining our way of life."

In Omaha, Nebraska, Ni Bthaska Stand supported the Lakota runners and DAPL shut down in brilliant way.
