I am greatly moved by the experiences in your documents. Did you intend these documents for this community only? There are activists here in the Dallas area protesting at ETF HQ. You're experiences could be helpful to them. Wesson Gaige Sent from my iPad

Hi Salvatore and Dianne,
Thank you very much for sharing your moving and very helpful update and reflections on your experience in N. Dakota. I hope the movement continues to build with support from all over the world. Almost every place in the world is dealing with water issues either from contamination, climate change--too much or too little water, access to water (land grabbing that prohibits access or damns that limit quantity) , siphoning of water by agro business and other companies, etc.
Indeed WATER IS LIFE. What we do to the water, we do to ourselves...

Dear friends:
Dianne and I participated in the current protection stand by the Standing Rock Tribe at Cannon Ball. N. Dakota ( and Now over 280 tribes globally) to stop the oil pipeline under construction beginning at the reservation lands near the Missouri river. The proposed pipeline is 60% completed but 20 miles of sacred land have been halted by the Justice Dept ( Obama) court decision on Sept 9.
What follows is our reflections on what’s happening at Standing Rock and how you may choose to involve yourself if so moved.
There are 3 PDF’s below: Salvatore Caruso & Dianne Greenwald reflections from our participation there; followed by a just published article by Bill McKibbin in Yes magazine that focuses on this event and the broader implications.
Be well,
Salvatore & Dianne _______________________________________________ Dialogue mailing list Dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/dialogue-wedgeblade.net _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
