Stop the Pipeline from going through sacred Native American land.

There is no reason to threaten the water supply or use sacred Native American land. The pipeline will be 1,170 miles when it’s done – just make it a little bit longer. Go around the land. Maybe it needs to be 1,300 miles long? Whatever it is – let’s respect the sacred land, let’s respect the needs of Native Americans.

It’s Thanksgiving, let’s be thankful. We’ve taken enough from the Native Americans. We took 99% of their land and 90% of their lives On Thanksgiving, November 24, 2016, of all days, we ask the US government for peace, protection of nature and the precious resource of water.

PUT A GLASS OF WATER ON YOUR THANKSGIVING TABLE

· Spread the word, use social media to post before Thanksgiving Day

· Post a glass of water on your thanksgiving table and take a pic - post on Thanksgiving

· Take out your phones at the Thanksgiving Table and everyone call, email, tweet, fax or otherwise contact:

• Your congressional representatives

* If you can please call, email, tweet, fax or otherwise contact between 3 pm and 7 pm in your time zone so that the people you are emailing know it was from your Thanksgiving meal.

Dr. Tara Rose & Jan B. Tucker

My hat is off to Dr. Tara Rose who came up with this idea. Tara and I are fellow members of the Inglewood South Bay Branch of NAACP and she is a true humanitarian.
