Back in 2016, you showed incredible support for Standing Rock as they
bravely fought against the Dakota Access Pipeline Companies, the Police,
and armed guards. It was a powerful moment when veterans, celebrities,
students, and allies came together to stand with Standing Rock. Now,
Standing Rock is again reaching out to you, urging you to join forces
with us. We need your help to demand the closure of the Dakota Access
Pipeline.
Join us at the Shutdown DAPL Rally in
Washington
D.C.
on June 11th, 2024. Hundreds of people will be hitting the streets in
solidarity with Standing Rock, demanding President Biden to take bold
action to #ShutdownDAPL.
Location: Pennsylvania Ave NW, in front of the White House.
This is not just another protest. This is a powerful movement for
change, and your presence will make a resounding impact. Together, we
will send a clear message to our U.S. leaders, especially President
Biden, that it’s time to put an end to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
