about
Please download and share this song and the important awareness message of what is happening, as we speak, at Standing Rock! You may download the song for free by putting $0 in the donation field...I just want everyone to have the music, most importantly.
Indigenous women and men are standing up, through peaceful protest, to stop the oil pipeline that threatens their land and water in North Dakota. They need all of our support and voices to be heard!
**UPDATE...Through your kind and loving donations for song downloads in November, I was able to raise $724, which was donated to the new documentary film "End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock," by director Shannon Kring. She has been working tirelessly with her team to get this important film completed and out into the world asap, so that we can all become better informed, raise our voices and take action to make a difference around this issue...while we still can.
In solidarity I stand
With Standing Rock and her rightful lands
Where the eagle cries, and the prayers of mothers
Ask us to rise, dear Sisters and Brothers
We can tame the greed of Man
With the strength of peace, walking hand in hand
To the end of the line, where the black snake poison
Threatens the heart of all that is Human
We are called to stand as one
For the health of future generations
Oh, Water is Life, and we caretakers
Of Mother Earth and all that is sacred
In solidarity we stand
With Standing Rock, her Dakota lands
Where the buffalo roam, and prayers of grandmothers
Ask us to rise, dear Sisters and Brothers
Don’t turn your eyes, dear Sisters and Brothers
Rise, dear Sisters and Brothers

Heidi's office is feeling the pressure from our phone calls. She is issuing a statement, but I urged the office to do something NOW and told the office that we are watching. The phone calls are making a difference.
Listen, if you cannot be there...take 5 minutes and leave messages with these people. This is ACTION we can take to support our brothers and sisters at Standing Rock.
If you don't know what to say, try something like: We are watching the atrocities that are happening to the peaceful protestors at Standing Rock. These people are exercising their first amendment right to protest peacefully and are being shot at with rubber bullets, water blasts and sound grenades. This is all being documented by the people. We urge you to take action now.
Thank you for 5 minutes. It can help a lot.
