of the movement or fight.

That’s why the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Indigenous Environmental Network, and Native Organizers Alliance, among many others, have called for a mass demonstration in Washington D.C. this Friday, March 10, to carry the momentum from Standing Rock forward.

RSVP to join the march ‘Native Nations Rising: Rise with Standing Rock’ on March 10 in D.C. to stand in solidarity with Indigenous nations across the country.

Here are the details:
What: ‘Native Nations Rising: Rise with Standing Rock’ march on Washington
When: Friday, March 10 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Where: March begins at Army Corps of Engineers (443 G St NW) and ends at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. (across from the White House)

Can't join the march? Send a custom email to your senators not to confirm upcoming Trump nominees who are climate deniers. It's the least they can do after watching this administration push forward with the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Starting yesterday, Indigenous peoples from across the country began a tipi camp near the Washington Monument. They're holding events in D.C. this week, culminating on March 10 when thousands of Indigenous peoples and their allies will march through D.C.

People will march to demand that Indigenous rights be respected, that tribal consent is given when any economic development happens on tribal land, and that President Trump meet with Tribal Leaders so he can be accountable for the impact of his actions. Allies will march in solidarity with Indigenous communities who are fighting to defend their land, water, and rights.

It's a critical moment to celebrate and continue what Standing Rock started.

RSVP to join the march (and other events this week if you'd like) on the Facebook event here.

Check out the schedule of events for this week here and the map for Friday's march at the bottom of the page here.
