Greetings! the Horse Ride event organized by Honor the Earth, and Union Church in Hackensack that took place on Monday July 7, was well attended, and a lot of media representatives were present as well, for the kick off on Sandpiper pipeline protests, with later rides planned for August. This latter one will go through or nearby in Pine River, so at NUUF, we are thinking of ways to cooperate and facilitate, and generally be helpful. Many of us were on deck on Monday, and lots of pictures resulted, in local and farther afield newspapers; there was coverage also by radio and TV, and a later interview that aired on the Ed Show on MSNBC. This is all exciting, and hopefullly will bring attention to the pending assault on our local environment in the watershed. Of course the star is Winona LaDuke, a dynamic speaker and committed activist on this issue. Stay tuned as plans develop!
There is a Yikes! Bikes! event taking place on July 12, a bike ride in support of Habitat for Humanity, organized by Ted Chisholm. There will be rest stops in Walker, LaPorte, Cass Lake. For more information contact Ted at chisholmtf@gmail.com.
Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
