Dear Friends of Standing Rock:
STANDING ROCK UPDATE
As we have entered the new year and the eve of a new presidential administrations, Water Protectors are still in the Standing Rock Camps. While numbers are fewer, as many have returned home to rest for while during the harsh winter, the commitment to protect the earth and its water and air is as strong as ever and has spread across the country and globe as Water Protectors are taking their prayer actions to the financial institutions of the globe. See the information below. Consider what you can do to be part of this growing movement:
-divest from fossil fuels, -invest in renewable energy, -divest from banks that support fossil fuels and pipelines, -invest in credit unions, -financially support the Sanding Rocks Protectors and environmental efforts in your area, particularly those affecting Native American land, -contact the president, members of Congress and state legislatures.
Join with others and make a difference!
Also, continue to study the issues and how and where Native Americans and indigenous communities around the world continue to be on the front lines of protecting the earth from environmental degradation caused by political oppression, economic exploitation, and religious legitimation.

Dear Global Family,
Thank you for your commitment to our collective future.
Standing Rock is still standing strong through freezing temperatures, bravely holding the prayer for our water, our earth and our children's future - And they need our help.
YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN A GLOBAL SYNCHRONIZED PRAYER ACTION ON JANUARY 28th TO CARRY THE PRAYER FROM STANDING ROCK TO BANKS WORLDWIDE
The Global Prayer Action is carrying the prayer and request from Standing Rock to the steps of the Banks around the World who are funding Oil Pipelines, sending a clear message of solidarity and demand for change - The frontline is now everywhere.
There will be a live prayer broadcast shared from Standing Rock camp - a prayer for all water, for all life - led by indigenous elders. You can join from wherever you are!
This is an opportunity to be a part of history by uniting our global community to support the water protectors at Standing Rock through local actions at banks.
"Let us put our hearts and minds together and see what future we can make for our children." > - Sitting Bull (Hunkpapa Lakota Oyate)
One week after inauguration we are taking this action to show that this is not over.
Empowered as one, we can make change.
We will stand, pray and meditate to elevate the consciousness of the financial institutions, administration and corporations funding oil extraction around the world by asking that they make the choice to invest in clean renewable energy and the future of our planet.
We are also looking at our own desires and choices for short-term gain over long term sustainability to heal this pattern within ourselves, to heal the earth.
Through this prayer action we ask our governments to incentivize the banks to make long terms investments that benefit our grandchildren and our planet of corporate profits.
We are connecting activists, advocates, actors, musicians, artists, media, environmental organizations, educators and prayerful people to join our Indigenous Leaders and Water Protectors.
The prayer will broadcast live from Standing Rock on January 28th as we simultaneously carry the prayer to the steps of banks worldwide.
Let your heart shine and our prayers be heard.
