Cast members from the Justice League have come together to support the youth of Standing Rock in their campaign to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. You can join them by signing at: change.org/RezpectOurWater.
The situation in question is introduced in the video below. And while the fictional “Justice League” fights against malicious invaders and injustice, I wonder what they might do against “big money”?
"Only hours after lawyers representing the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed evidence in federal court documenting how some of the Dakota Access pipeline’s proposed route would go through a sacred burial site, the company unexpectedly began working on that very site. As bulldozers cleared earth, hundreds of Native Americans from many different tribes rushed onto the construction site to protect the sacred site. In response, the company’s security forces attacked the Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray. Now the tribe’s lawyer is requesting an emergency temporary restraining order to halt construction on this area of the pipeline. For more, we speak with Jan Hasselman, staff attorney with Earthjustice, who is representing the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe at today’s hearing in federal court. And we speak with Dave Archambault, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe." democracynow.org)
