Next Steps for Solidarity with Standing Rock

Fri 2/24 NO DAPL Protest at SPO Partners in Mill Valley!

Join Sonoma​ ​Solidarity with Standing Rock at a mass action at SPO Partners in Mill Valley! ​

We picked SPO Partners as our target because they are ​local, and ​the largest investor in Oasis Petroleum, that is one of nine companies supplying oil to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). As Energy Transfer Partners, the builder of the DAPL, and law enforcement are waging war on peaceful Standing Rock protesters, We see SPO Partners as complicit in genocide. NO DAPL!
