Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

ND: Hundreds Protest Law Firm Defending Dakota Access Pipeline

HeadlineAug 30, 2016

In Bismarck, North Dakota, hundreds of people protested Monday outside the offices of the law firm Fredrikson & Byron P.A., which is representing Dakota Access LLC—the company behind the $3.8 billion oil pipeline that has faced massive resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other tribal nations. This is Tom Goldtooth, director of the Indigenous Environmental Network.

Tom Goldtooth: “We are part of a growing movement that is condemning this colonial legal system based upon property rights.”
