We need to follow the Water Protectors who have been standing up to Enbridge since the beginning. They are asking us to join them by driving to Line 3 and voicing our opposition. Treaty People Gathering, an event hosted by Honor the Earth, Giniw, and many state and national organizations are hosting this event and WMM is forming a group to join them. More details to come, but we want to know if you want to caravan with us on June 6 and 7th (you can stay overnight or join us for a day.)
Moyana Olivia’s powerful video - X-Ray - and a call to action. “If you want justice for George or Breonna and for every name, use your voice for change. You have the power to fight for freedom and justice for all. If you want an end to police brutality against people of color, use your voice and exercise your right to vote!”
Now is the time to take action to ensure that we protect our rights and once again live in a country we are proud of. If not now - when? This is why we marched. In addition to the requests to participate, we will be sending out motivational videos and educational pieces about the election process called “Election Central”.

On June 30, we're rallying in Washington, D.C., and around the country to tell Donald Trump and his administration to stop separating kids from their parents!
