“Just as we give thanks for our good fortune and the bounty of our lives as Americans, let us thank the Native people who are gathered here at Standing Rock to protect the natural world and defend our place in it,” said Jackson Browne in a statement submitted to ICTMN.
Bonnie Raitt also expressed solidarity with Standing Rock in the statement.
I gather this is very much needed. Both the positive publicity and the funds.
Yes, it is. There are still a wealth of people who don’t know what’s going on, or how bad it has gotten for those at the camp.
I bet the cops aren’t gonna spray pepper in Bonnie’s face. In spite of the fact that she’s not carrying a weapon.
I’m sure she’ll be carrying her usual guitar, but -- per Woody -- guitars kill fascists.
Marcus:
As long as she stays in the staging area in Standing Rock, no. Anywhere else, all bets are off. The cops are past fucking crazy out there.
More of these! I hope the concert can happen without being bureaucratically roadblocked out of existence.
