A SLAPP you need to know about: 14 U.S. states have intervened to do the bidding of the fossil fuel company Energy Transfer and are SLAPPing an Indigenous Nation, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, in order to silence them. #stopSLAPPs #NoDAPL

[Natali Segovia @NSegoviaEsq]

Colonialism and rampant capitalism are at the root of today’s #LAfires crisis. While change in nature is a constant, climate change is not natural. Climate disruption is driven by corporate greed and fanned by the fossil fuel industry, that puts profits over people and planet. 🧵

More from our convo with Indigenous-led PtP member @WaterIsLifeWPLC. Communications & Development Coordinator Nizhoni Begay talks about the power of Indigenous Peoples to persevere in the face of SLAPPs and other, broader injustices. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #stopSLAPPs #WaterIsLife

[Protect the Protest @PtP_Coalition]

As Energy Transfer continues to pursue their baseless $300 million lawsuit against @greenpeaceusa, are they more focused on silencing critics than they are on ensuring the safety of our communities? #stopSLAPPs #WeWillNotBeSilenced

WPLC was born out of a prayer at Standing Rock to protect the Water and protect those who stand to protect the Earth for generations to come.

We are committed to fighting so truth can come to light.

Attend and submit testimony at the University of Hawai’i Board of Regents meeting on Thursday at Leeward Community College at 9 am in opposition to Agenda Item VII B which will bring UH a step closer to renewing its contract with the Department of Defense (DOD). The UH is being used as a research center and recruiting grounds for the US Military. What’s more they are using our most sacred mountains to conduct their research.

We will continue to support Mr. Peltier in securing the freedom. Our commitment to stand by him remains unwavering. We are committed to working with his many attorneys and other grassroots organizations to challenge this decision and work towards his release.

[Water Protector Legal Collective @WaterIsLifeWPLC]

Political Prisoner #LeonardPeltier has been denied parole.

Mr. Peltier is the longest-serving political prisoner in United States history. Despite his innocence, Leonard Peltier is still serving time in a maximum security prison nearly five decades later.

[Water Protector Legal Collective @WaterIsLifeWPLC]

We won't stop fighting. We ask all our relatives to keep Mr. Peltier and all those involved in his parole hearing in your prayers. Mr. Peltier deserves to spend his elder years with his family and with his community.

[Free Jessica Reznicek @FreeJessRez]

An update from Jessica & her ask for support from all of you:

"Hello Good People of the World,

First, I want to thank you for all your prayers, love and support.  I feel you all close to me in heart and mind on a daily basis...
