Water protectors successfully stop pipeline construction, call for additional supporters
On Saturday, September 3, 2016 at approximately 3pm, Water protectors successfully stopped Dakota access pipeline construction as it reached Hwy 1806 through nonviolent direct action and mass assembly.
In that process, private security employed by Dakota Access, LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC, deployed vicious attack dogs, pepper spray and physical assault against the water protectors. According to the most recent update, 6 water protectors were bitten by dogs, a dozen or more pepper sprayed and numerous were physically assaulted; which included women.
It was reported that a North Dakota state patrol helicopter was flying overhead during the attack.
Red Warrior Camp was nonviolent and unarmed throughout this action. We will remain nonviolent and unarmed. We ask supporters to do so as well. Additionally, we ask that supporters keep the attention on the fact that Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, LLC feels justified in using this level of force against unarmed and nonviolent water protectors AND the state officers that are sworn to protect the people allowed it.
We are calling for ALL water warriors around the world to come stand with us. If you are not able to join us physically, we ask that you join us in prayer and commit to our Weeks of Global Solidarity Actions from September 3-17, 2016.
