**edited December 2, 2016, to correct the link to donate directly to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and to update for the December days of action**
**updated December 3 with new links for Oceti Sakowin camp and donations**
**updated December 7 with Defund DAPL link and step-by-step instructions**

Since I seem to be blogging almost daily on the situation in North Dakota, I thought I'd create a one-stop essay with all the donation links, phone numbers of people to put pressure on, where to send supplies, etc. If you have other suggestions, please put them in the comments and I'll update. Please do what you can, and feel free to repost this anywhere.

Banks and Financial Institutions

The Defund DAPL movement is a great way to track disinvestment. At this link, you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to move your money and suggestions for what to tell your former bank, including the following paragraph.

[Name of bank] is one of a group of banks that loaned a combined $10 billion to Dakota Access and other companies involved in the pipeline’s construction. . . . As a customer of [name of bank], I do not want my money helping support [name of bank]’s investment in the Dakota Access pipeline - a dangerous and unjust oil pipeline that violates both sacred and treaty lands of the Standing Rock Sioux and threatens air and water quality on their land.

In addition to the banks listed in the image below, here is a link from Yes magazine with the entire list of financial institutions. If you're doing business with any of them, please move your money and tell them why. If you feel more assertive, you can do civil disobedience and block branches or otherwise shut them down for a day.

Out-of-State Sheriffs and Cops

Here's a comprehensive list (accurate at the time it was printed) of the police and sheriff's departments that have sent troops to Standing Rock to attack and oppress the water protectors. Call or write them and tell them to remove their personnel from the area and bring them home.

Government Officials

I have little faith that any governmental authorities are going to land on the right side here, but if you feel optimistic about getting President Obama or your local senators or representatives to speak out, please give them a call. There are some suggested talking points in the image below.

Money and Supplies

If you are sending cold-weather gear, choose items that are suitable for the Arctic, Mongolia, or subzero temperatures. Standard "cold weather" items are inadequate.
