Your Call: Standing up at Standing Rock

On the October 10th edition of  Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the ongoing protest over the proposed $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline. 

The Standing Rock Sioux tribe says the pipeline would disturb sacred sites and contaminate drinking water from the Missouri River.  Rose Aguilar will report back from her trip to Standing Rock and connect you with activists on the front lines. Tweet your questions and comments to @yourcallradio and join us live at 10am on Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:

Stephanie Tsosie, associate attorney with Earthjustice

Kandi Mossett, Native energy and climate campaign organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network
