Neil Young has been one of the most outspoken celebrities who stands in solidarity with the Standing Rock water protectors. The singer and his girlfriend Daryl Hannah recently took to Facebook to write an open letter to President Barak Obama. The couple began their letter by saying, “Tales of a feast on Plymouth plantation in the Autumn of 1621, where of pilgrims from the Mayflower, celebrated the harvest, shared and broke bread with the first Americans are false. From Plymouth Rock to Standing Rock, this lie has made our Thanksgiving Day a Day of Mourning for the First Nations, all the tribes big and small, those who came before us.” The two urged Obama to “step in and end the violence against the peaceful water protestors at Standing Rock immediately.” They concluded their open letter with, “This is our moment for truth. Unintimidated, stand, speak up and show up. Be counted. Be like our brothers and sisters at Standing Rock. Be there if you can. The progress we have made over two hundred and forty years as a nation, has always come first from the people.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
