PLEASE donate and share, get this circulating. CopWatch has hit Standing Rock and we need to help fund them. If you’re upset (which you should be) by what is going on in Standing Rock, but you are unsure on how to contribute or help, do what you can from home, if you can’t physically be there, send money. Look up fundraisers who haven’t hit their goal yet, they need money and resources, especially now that temperatures are dropping fast.
