Neil Young Calls on Obama for Further Standing Rock Intervention
After penning an earlier statement about the #NoDAPL protestors at Standing Rock, Neil Young has now shared another statement on his official Facebook. In the wake of news that construction would be halted on the Dakota access pipeline, Young calls on Obama for further intervention. He writes:
The question now is whether President Obama will send in law enforcement or the military to halt DAPL from drilling without a permit. Otherwise, today’s announcement will have no enforcement. It will be seen as another US and corporate ploy to send home water protectors, and thousands of veterans, now at Standing Rock Camp, where more than 10,000 are camped.
