Standing Rock: Sherri Mitchell's Journey and More!

This week of Love (and Revolution) Radio, we cover Sherri Mitchell's recent trip to Standing Rock with a caravan of supplies and Water Protectors. She arrived just in time for the Army Corp of Engineers' denial of easement, the arrival of thousands of veterans and allies, and also a four day blizzard! Tune in for reflections, practical strategic advice for nonviolent action, and our solstice reflections as heart-based activists in a time of great change. Correction: In the show, Rivera mentions that 5.2 trillion dollars worldwide have been or have been promised to be shifted about of fossil fuels. The accurate statistic is that institutions and accounts controlling 5.2 trillion dollars have pledged or moved their assets that are currently held in fossil fuels.
