Managing the Waste Stream As An Ally At Standing Rock
—This is a guest blog by Genevieve Abedon of Californians Against Waste Going to Standing Rock to fight for Native rights, land and water, and against the outdated oil and gas industry has been one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I was at Oceti Sakowin camp in North Dakota for most of Thanksgiving week.
