> In light of the Army Corps of Engineers letter to try and shut down standing rocks peaceful protection of our waters, we feel compelled to go stand peacefully and offer medical support on the front lines. We will be bringing 5 people and a limited amount of supplies. In light of the tactics used by law enforcement, we are predominantly interested in bringing, hypothermia blankets, respirator masks and goggles, rubber suits/waterproof gear and medical supplies.

> Please donate to support our campaign!

> We will gladly accept any of these items, as well as funds (tax deductible) at the Multicultural Resource Center office located at Cornell Cooperatives Extension of Tompkins County (615 Willow Ave.). Any funds donated through this campaign will fund 5 people, a van rental, insurance, gas, food, and medical supplies. Excess funds will help with helping additional community members' travels and purchasing wood at Standing Rock. We will be leaving on December 1st for up to a week. We only have a short window to raise these funds and get Ithaca to Standing Rock. Thank you for your love and support, please share this campaign widely.

> Small Particle Respirator Masks
> Emergency Medical Kits or Eyewash Kits
> Peace and love!
