Vermont Burning: The Future of Biomass Energy
October 14, 2016Rebecca Hougher On Sovereignty, Secession and Independence
October 21, 2016The 2nd Vermont Republic stands with our indigenous Dakota friends and neighbors, and all those who continue gathering in North Dakota in peaceful opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline Project, water and earth protectors who are courageously challenging Big Oil’s aggressive and illegal expansion into their homeland.
We also welcome the first baby midwife’ed at the #DAPL resistance camp as of today!
As Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman reports:
Thousands of people have flocked from across the United States, Latin America and Canada to join the resistance camps opposing the construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Most are Native Americans representing hundreds of tribes from across the Americas. The ongoing encampment is considered one of the largest gatherings of Native Americans in decades. People have set up multiple kitchens, a school that teaches Lakota languages and other subjects, and medical services to care for the thousands who come to join the resistance to the pipeline. On Monday, a group of indigenous midwives posted online that the first baby was born in the camp. When Democracy Now! was in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, this weekend, we spoke with women and midwives about the importance of reproductive healthcare at the resistance camps.
Free Vermont!
