Emergency Rally at Westlake

On Tuesday February 8th, an emergency rally over the Dakota Access Pipeline happened at Westlake Center in downtown Seattle. The purpose of the rally was to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline and encourage divestment from Bank of America as a sign of solidarity with the water protectors at Standing Rock. [Broadly speaking; if IN-vesting means to put your money into something, DI-vesting means taking it out].
Around twenty people attended the rally, joining at least 53 cities in 26 states; and even though it was not a large group, you could feel an immense sense of compassion and solidarity. Which is exactly what this world needs right now. Thank you relentless warriors.
