The fight to protect the water and treaty lands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe from the Dakota Access Pipeline continues and many Eugeneans have traveled across the country to aid in the battle. Lauren Regan and Cooper Brinson of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, long experienced in the legalities of battling climate change inducing projects like this tar sands pipeline, headed to North Dakota to lend some legal expertise to the Native American protest. A YouTube video of Regan, in the role of police liaison, walking up to a long line of armed law enforcement is worth a viewing. Go to cldc.org for updates from the frontlines and to donate to the legal efforts. #NoDAPL. Meanwhile this weekend at Blairally there will be a fundraiser for Standing Rock with all proceeds and donation from a raffle and from the door going to the water defenders. There will be live music, speakers, DJs, a slide show and an information booth. Cold weather camping equipment and rain gear in good condition will be collected. Fundraiser Support for Water Defenders at Standing Rock, 7 pm Oct. 22, at Blairally Vintage Arcade, 245 Blair Blvd. $3-$20 sliding scale cover. For more information call CALC at 485-1755 or go to the Facebook event: “Fundraiser Support for Water Defenders at Standing Rock.” To see the CLDC video, go to youtu.be/_oAY4OvAU18. — Camilla Mortensen 20 October 20, 2016 • eugeneweekly.com Mexican Dream, 4-5:30pm, Knight Library Browsing Room, UO Campus.
