The public witnessed a new level of escalation on October 27, 2016 in the Native struggle at Standing Rock, as police swept through an encampment in the direct path of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The resulting standoff with the National Guard, and police officers from various states,led to more than 100 arrests. Advancing authorities attacked Water Protectors with flash grenades, bean bag launchers, pepper spray and Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs). It is crucial that people recognize that Standing Rock is part of an ongoing struggle against colonial violence. The Dakota Access pipeline (#NoDAPL) is a front of struggle in a long-erased war against Native peoples -- a war that has been active since first contact, and waged without interruption.

People stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Water Protectors on Dec. 1, 2016 in San Francisco. There is a call for December to be a month of action where across the world people stand in unity with the tribe against the Dakota Access pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline would carry approximately 570,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota to Illinois. A portion of it passes through the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's ancestral lands, and within a half mile of the Tribe's present-day reservation. An oil spill will be culturally and economically catastrophic. Pictured in the center of the photo is Marcus Wade.
Activists from New York’s Indigenous and Black communities, along with decolonial advocates led an “Anti-Columbus Day Tour” at the American Museum of Natural History on October 9, 2017; the groups are demanding that Mayor de Blasio and members of the New York City Council join the growing list of cities in the U.S. that have renamed Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The early morning sun heats up the frosty ground after a cold night. Tents, cars, and teepees find their likeness in the Cannon Ball River's mirror reflection.

The banking divestment movement was not something that I was very personally involved or familiar with, but was something I was recently turned on to by the organizations Revolution LA and Divest LA. Coming out of the 2016 elections I saw a lot of energy and enthusiasm in the protests that followed. One of my biggest worries was that this passion would lack the direction necessary to bring about actual change and would eventually fizzle out. I was later encouraged to see groups like the aforementioned ones taking up causes, challenging those in power, and bringing about real change. Revolution LA is a grassroots organization based in the Los Angeles area that supports a myriad of different progressive causes, one of which became the group Divest LA. Through a series of protests and direction action, the groups, in late June of this year, convinced the Los Angeles City Council to pass, by a 14-0 vote, to divest $40 million dollars from Wells Fargo (for its unscrupulous and discriminatory practices, and its financing of the Dakota Access Pipeline). This was an extraordinary feat for a group from such humble beginnings. This piece, if anything, is made out of my respect and admiration of the things this group has managed to accomplish and hopefully will continue to pursue in the future.

Susan stands outside a Citibank branch after closing her account until they agree to defund the Dakota Access Pipeline. Greenpeace activists in solidarity with Indigenous protectors in North Dakota, target a Citibank branch with a protest in Washington, D.C. February 6, 2017. Citibank is one of the largest institutions and creditors of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline has led to the brutalization of peaceful water protectors at Standing Rock, North Dakota. If successfully completed, the pipeline would destroy sacred Indigenous lands, potentially poison the water supply of thousands of people and fast track climate change.
RN Ann McKenzie.
National Nurses United (NNU)'s Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN)--a volunteer network of nurses providing disaster relief--deployed in early December, for the third time, to Standing Rock. The RNs were on hand to assist with first aid for water protectors resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)--as well as for the thousands of arriving Veterans for Standing Rock. Nurse volunteers witnessed the big announcement on Dec. 4 that the Army Corps of Engineers had, for the time being, denied the easement for the final stretch of the pipeline construction.
When a blizzard arose the next day, many water protectors, veterans and locals sought shelter at the Prairie Knights Casino. RNRN volunteers were on hand to provide care for those who were struggling with the cold, or who were simply not feeling well. RNRN registered nurse volunteers Amy Bowen and Rachel Gitas also worked the night shift at the Sacred Stone camp during the blizzard, helping water protectors seeking care in the medical tent. Rachel even went tent to tent with a water protector to make sure no one had been buried in the snow.
The nurses know the fight to resist DAPL is not over. They vow to stand in solidarity with Standing Rock for as long as it takes to stop this dirty oil pipeline--and its threats to both the Standing Rock Sioux's sacred land, and the water supply and health of up to 17 million people.

Washington DC, April 29, 2017. On a hot April day tens of thousands marched to the White House in The People's Climate March 2017. A broad and diverse crowd showed their displeasure and dismay at President Donald Trump's anti-environment administration and policies. Later in the day a smaller group staged an action at The Trump Hotel.
