Standing Rock Changed Everything

It was in the beginning of September, 2016 that I first viewed a video posted by Kandi Mossett White about the Dakota Access Pipeline. Her message touched me deeply and that day I attended a Process Painting class, and came up with this simple painting.  From that moment, I have paid attention daily to the development, destruction, and dissemination of Sacred Stone camp and the people who came from so many places to participate in the struggle to stop the Black Snake.  I was there as “The Water is Life” movement was in its infancy by way of FaceBook.

Water is Life Movement Mission:
To create a global water protection action group that will support communities worldwide where the peaceful actions against the fossil fuel and related industries are happening. Encouraging people to support organizations, events, and peaceful actions in their community. As Water is central to life and connected to all living things we are a group of concerned human beings intent upon bringing connection to communities from across the world in order to stand up to protect water for the benefit of present and future generations worldwide.
