Stanley Mission residents trekking to Standing Rock
Two feet and a heartbeat will take six Stanley Mission residents to Standing Rock, ND, where they will make a stand for what they believe in.
“My dad thought I was crazy but then stuff started coming to me, and everything is coming together. Now he’s with me, and he’s on this with me which is awesome to see,” resident Ricky Sanderson said.
Sanderson said he believes the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline is a fight for the whole world. He said he felt a calling to do something before it was too late.
“Standing Rock is important because they’re water protectors, and they’re defending the only accessible water they can drink,” Sanderson explained. “It’s tough right now because the police over there are trying to stop that from happening.”
