What To Do: North Dakota Access Pipeline #noDAP
The Dakota Access Pipeline (by Energy Transfer Partners) is being constructed dangerously close to the primary water supply (Missouri River) of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Police have militarized against protestors. Here's what can be done to help.
*** UCSF's school of medicine is setting up a clinic to provide healthcare for the assembled; there are 2,000-5,000 people and the local IHS hospital has only 12 beds. You can donate here:

*** You can also donate to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for help with emergencies, sanitation, and legal fees against Energy Transfer Partners:

*** The protesters have a wishlist if you want to send them supplies (especially for the upcoming winter):

*** A petition to get a response from the White House has already reached enough signatures, but you can still sign it to get the scale of the message across:

Okay, that's it for this PSA for if you're stressed about #noDAPL and not sure what to do about it.
