 )\n\nYou’re invited to a special evening with social justice attorneys 
 Chase Iron EyesEyes and Daniel Sharmaneehan of the Lakota People's Law 
 Project.\n\nIn spring of 2016, a movement was born at Standing Rock. When 
 the Dakota Access pipeline (#DAPL) was rerouted to the reservation, 
 endangering its sacred water supply, Lakota elders asked allies to rally to 
 their cause, symbolized by the phrase: “Mni Wiconi—Water is Life.” 
 Hundreds of thousands of you answered their call.\n\nRevelations of illegal 
 paramilitary tactics employed by private security firms against Chase and 
 other peaceful water protectors on the front lines underscore that our very 
 democracy is at stake. This forum provides a unique opportunity to engage 
 with two generational voices sharing first-hand accounts of this historic 
 movement and the legal battles being waged in the Dakotas.\n\nWe invite you 
 to join Chase and Danny for this exceptional evening. Together, let's 
 continue to answer and advance the call to unite at this critical 
 hour.\n\nPlease RSVP at our Eventbrite page today, and arrive on time with 
 your tickets to be guaranteed admission.
