Just before the busy morning commute, we dropped a massive 24′ long banner across the “Welcome to Bloomington” exit sign along I-69 that read:
SOLIDARITY WITH
SACRED STONE
WATER DEFENDERS
#NODAPL #WATERISLIFE
For context, I-69 (also known as the NAFTA Superhighway) is a hugely unpopular interstate highway that, after years of delays due to organizing, sabotage, casualties, and bureaucratic ineptitude, is finally being expanded through Bloomington. The development will undoubtedly affect nearby aquifers and forever change the environmental and social landscape of our region.
In total solidarity with the Lakota rebels: Against the black snakes and their world!
