On Saturday, August 20 hundreds of people from around the country gathered in New Orleans and at the Sacred Stone Camp in North Dakota to fight for justice and action. Together, they spread their message loud and clear: reject the Dakota Access Pipeline (#NoDAPL) and stop all fossil fuel leasing in the Gulf of Mexico (#NoNewLeases).
We know that we are all connected, that our fights are connected, and that to win, we need to join together. Here’s are some highlights from the actions on the ground.
