DESCRIPTION:What: An Evening with DAPL Saboteurs Jessica Reznicek and Ruby Montoya: How 
 and Why Two Women Went from Protesting to Sabotage to Stop the Dakota 
 Access Pipeline\n\nWhen: Saturday, October 14th, 7:00 pm\n\nWhere: Omni 
 Commons\n4799 Shattuck Ave\nOakland, CA 94609\n\nJessica and Ruby need your 
 support to spread the word!\n\nFacebook - Like, Share, and Invite 
 Friends\nhttp://tiny.cc/jessandrubyevent\n\nTweet:\nhttp://tiny.cc/jessandrubytwitter\n\nThey 
 think they will likely be indicted and in jail awaiting trial soon. So the 
 event is necessarily being organized on short notice.\n\nWe need every 
 person to help get the word out. If you are part of an organization, please 
 consider emailing your list. Please share on facebook and twitter. Jessica 
 and Ruby need all the support we can give. Thanks very much!\n\nMore 
 info:\n\nIn the fall of 2016, while the epic battle over Indigenous Rights 
 and fossil fuel infrastructure was being waged in Standing Rock, ND against 
 the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), Catholic Workers Ruby Montoya and 
 Jessica Reznicek sabotaged DAPL over and over during its construction near 
 their home in Iowa, successfully delaying the destructive oil project for 
 many weeks.\n\nRecently, they revealed what they had done to the world, 
 despite never being caught in the act.\n\nHow did this happen?\nThey taught 
 themselves how to do sabotage. They had no special skills.\n\nWhat does it 
 prove?\n1. For those who can, successful sabotage is doable and you don't 
 have to get caught.\n2. The idea that the state and corporations are 
 somehow "omniscient" and "undefeatable" is not true.\n\nThis changes the 
 field for all environmentalists - and all people who work for 
 change.\n\nCome join Ruby and Jessica and learn about and discuss their 
 decisions and action to do everything they could to stop the Dakota Access 
 Pipeline.\n\nThis event is for everyone. Whether you agree with Jessica and 
 Ruby's actions completely or not. Everyone who comes with respect and is 
 genuinely interested in a productive dialogue is welcome.\n\nThe Global 
 Climate Crisis is forcing people who never imagined or wanted to do 
 anything like Jessica’s and Ruby’s actions to question and re-evaluate 
 what they’re willing to do to confront it. And ask ourselves whether we 
 are willing to support actions like these after they occur - even though 
 some of us would never want to or be able to engage in actions like these 
 ourselves.\n\nWith forests on fire, seas rising, super storms ripping apart 
 the coastlines and so many of the most vulnerable people and wild things 
 being hurt by climate change, combined with an emboldened fascism on the 
 rise, it feels more than ever like the world is being murdered right before 
 our eyes. More than ever it's becoming clear to more and more of us that we 
 must rely on each other to be able to stop this destruction and organized 
 hatred.\n\nPerhaps this evening - for those who would like - can be a time 
 for soul searching.\n\nOur hope lies in the fact that we are capable of so 
 much more than we can even imagine. Jessica and Ruby are just one example 
 of this.\n\nWhat will be the one step forward into a place of discomfort or 
 fear that you take?\n\nWhat do you need to get there?\n\nWe invite you to 
 an evening where we can all be amongst people who care as much as we do and 
 share from our hearts.\n\nBrought to you by your friends in struggle, 
 Diablo Rising Tide.\n\nP.S. We'll be collecting donations for Jessica and 
 Ruby. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/10/08/18803511.php
