stand with standing rock. shit is realer than ever on the front lines right now. ND police are waging war on peaceful protectors. elders and children being maced, tear gassed and being sprayed with water cannons in below freezing weather. a water protector is in surgery right now and doctors are trying to save their arm from being amputated after they were hit by an explosive projectile fired by the police last night. there’s so much info out there about which banks are funding the pipeline. there’s numbers to call. there’s spaces to occupy. the time is now. #istandwithstandingrock #standingrock #nodapl #dapl #waterislife #mniwiconi

I love food and family as much as anyone but to celebrate these holidays without examining their sordid histories or their ramifications in modern society does us all a disservice. During 4th of July weekend this year dozens of black lives were lost to police violence. This is the norm. And every year we make these beautiful spreads and talk about what we’re thankful for without acknowledging the indigenous genocide that took place on this stolen land centuries ago. As we speak the Sioux nation in North Dakota is fighting for a very simple human right- water. We must acknowledge these struggles and examine the role we play in perpetuating them by choosing comfort and complacency over humanity. We must stand for others the way we desire others to stand for us- not because there are similarities between African, Caribbean, Latino and indigenous struggles, but first and foremost because it’s the right thing to do. Personally it really bothers me when someone only supports the movement for black lives because they have a significant other or adopted child who happens to black. Right is right no matter who you are. The same rules apply when we talk about supporting our indigenous brothers and sisters. Enjoy your family and your food today but PLEASE also take the time to acknowledge the indigenous who continue to fight for their right to life, land and water. We must all stand with standing rock. #NoDAPL #WaterIsLife #IStandWithStandingRock #RezpectOurWater #NationalDayOfMourning #IndigenousLivesMatter #IndigenousLandsMatter #IndigenousLegaciesMatter
