One Good Thing: Support Standing Rock

Support the incredibly brave Native American men, women and youth (as well as supporters) protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. They seek to prevent destruction of precious water, not only where they live, but also for millions who would be affected downstream from an oil spill. You can send a message, sign a petition, make a phone call. You can send money to help pay for blankets, heaters, food, etc. as the winter season has arrived.

Make a choice to do One Good Thing each day to improve your life and the lives of others.
