Message From Chase Iron Eyes
We are not leaving. The warriors of all nations are here.Until the pipeline that's in the ground is gone, until the law enforcement, militarized blockade is gone, until DAPL is gone.
Sacred Stone Camp is 1000 strong and they are NOT leaving. Rosebud Camp is 300 strong, they are NOT leaving.
1000 people are still at what was formerly known as Oceti Sakowin Camp. Stay if you feel in your heart that freedom is here. We may never get this opportunity for another generation.Atsa E'sha Hoferer on FacebookChase Iron Eyes on Facebook#BankExit #WaterIsLife #KeepItInTheGround #WeAreTheMedia#TheWorldIsWatching #MniWiconi #OcetiSakowinCamp #SacredStoneCamp#StandingWithStandingRock #PrayerAndShare #PeoplePower
On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For the first time in history, the international community agreed to a set of fundamental rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled. Since then, activists worldwide continue to fight to have those rights upheld and respected. Today you can join them by speaking up for people whose rights are denied and whose voices are silenced. This Human Rights Day; change.org, is shining a spotlight on stories of people who’ve been imprisoned.
Their families, friends and communities are campaigning for the freedom of their loved ones everyday, and they hope our collective voices can make an impact. Here are some petitions you can sign to support them:
Sign The Petition North Korea: Free Pastor Lim Korean-Canadian pastor Hyeon Soo Lim has led over 100 humanitarian missions to North Korea, providing help to orphanages, schools and nursing homes. On his most recent visit in 2015, he was detained and convicted of ‘crimes against the state.’ The 61-year-old reverend from the Toronto area suffers from a chronic health condition. He is now serving a life sentence of hard labor in North Korea. His health has deteriorated in recent months, making his congregation’s call for his release even more urgent. “Every action, whether small or big, and every step that we take in standing together for the release of Reverend Lim, makes a significant impact." Join the campaign to bring Pastor Lim home. Syria: Free Bassel Safadi Bassel Safadi is a world-renowned digital rights activist who has dedicated his career to fighting for free and open access to information. Foreign Policy magazine named him one of the most influential thinkers of 2012. That same year, the Syrian government arrested Bassel and accused him of ‘harming state security.’ He was imprisoned and tortured. Bassel’s family hasn’t heard from him in over a year and his current whereabouts are unknown. His friend and fellow activist Mohamad is fighting for Bassel’s freedom. “We know putting public pressure on can help." Join Mohamad's campaign to secure Bassel's release and support online communities and free expression in Syria.
Iran: Provide Prisoners With Medical Care Atena Daemi is an Iranian human rights defender. She is serving a seven-year prison sentence in Iran for engaging in peaceful activism. Remarkably, Atena is speaking out from behind prison walls. But she’s not advocating for herself. She’s started a campaign to expose the mistreatment of her fellow prisoners who are denied medical care, which she calls a clear violation of international law that is tantamount to torture. "One thing I’m sure of: as our numbers grow and our voice gets louder, Iranian authorities are much more likely to listen to our demand." Join Atena's campaign to press Iranian authorities to stop denying medical care to prisoners. Egypt: Free Aya Hijazi Aya is an American citizen who grew up in Virginia and graduated from George Mason University. After moving to Egypt in 2009, she co-founded a non-profit organization to help children living on the streets of Cairo. She and her husband have been held in Egyptian prison without trial for over 900 days on unproven charges of abuse. Aya's friend and former classmate Chelsea is campaigning for her release: "Aya and her husband’s only crime was treating children that society was ignoring and exploiting with respect and dignity. They gave these children hope, something the Egyptian government fears and will try to stop." Join Chelsea's campaign to free Aya.
