Dakota Access Pipeline Protest in San Francisco Boosts Movement Forward Pt. II

Many groups and individuals stood in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their fight against the construction of a massive oil pipeline yesterday in San Francisco. Activists across the nation are on the frontlines of stopping the Dakota Access pipeline.

Demonstrators are outraged about the unjust conditions under which indigenous people are suffering when they are merely seeking to protect water and land. With its history of attention to human rights and many years of protesting, Bay Area residents joined in the action.

Some California Native American tribal members travelled many hours to join up in San Francisco. Local activist group the Raging Grannies, whose members live from San Jose to San Mateo, were amongst the many groups joining in the action.
