On Feb. 9, 2021, Youth from Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Nations Will Run to #ShutDownDAPL

Statement from the Standing Rock Youth Council

On Tuesday, February 9th 2021, we, the youth

From the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Nations

Are going to run to the Cannonball River

The site of our resistance 4 1/2 years ago

The Dakota Access Pipeline is currently operating without a legal federal permit.

President Joe Biden wants to be seen as a climate president

But he cannot claim that title until he stops this pipeline

And others like it, like Line 3.

We ask the world to join us as we run again

Record yourself running, wherever you are, in solidarity

And make as much noise as you can on social media

To end this injustice

And put pressure on President Biden to stand on the right side of history

Post your videos, share our posts, tag President Biden and VP Harris in the posts and use the hashtags 

#ShutdownDAPL

#ByeDenDAPL

#BuildBackFossilFree

and/or copy and post the following along with your video to sh

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, I still #StandwithStandingRock and am taking the Standing Rock Challenge to join them in demanding #shutdownDAPL. The Dakota Access pipeline continues to operate illegally without the proper permit putting the Standing Rock Sioux nation at risk. #ByeDenDAPL

President Joe Bidenand Vice President Kamala Harris I am taking the #NoDAPL challenge because it’s time to #BuildBackFossilFree for our youth, land and water. #mniwiconi

Stand with our youth and with Standing Rock!

Thank you to A Tribe Called Red for your music

and all the youth and people who made this happen!
