We, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán, stand with you, the North Dakota Standing Rock Sioux Nation, in full solidarity over the call to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The construction of this pipeline has destroyed sacred indigenous lands and violated treaties. We stand with you because our ancestors also tended to this land, and it is our duty to fight alongside our Indigenous family to protect their rights.

We do not tolerate the oppression of any people, and fully and unconditionally support the North Dakota Standing Rock Sioux Nation.

¡La Unión Hace La Fuerza!
