Photos of police brutally attacking water protectors on desecrated sacred sites. Photo credit Rob Wilson.

Today police unleashed undue violence against the Water Protectors – many of whom were elders and children. Journalists covering and reporting on these events were targeted and arrested. Where is the mainstream media? Where is the accountability? Now is the time to show your support by being here!”
