The Redford Center has a short message for you. Here’s the full transcript:

All Americans deserve the right to clean water and in North Dakota, a brave group of Americans are fighting to protect that right. The Standing Rock Sioux are fighting to prevent a giant pipeline from being built that would cut through the Missouri River, their clean water source. Now, they're not just fighting for their right, they're also fighting for 17 million Americans who depend on the Missouri River for their clean water. If this pipeline gets completed, what happens? An energy company makes a bunch of money. And what else happens? An oil spill is all but guaranteed. And we lose one more chance to protect public good over private profit. Now the Sioux aren't going anywhere. They're staying put. But they need our support. So please, wherever you are, take out your phone, call the White House and ask President Obama to protect clean water for 17 million Americans. For now, and for future generations, Stand with the Standing Rock Sioux.

Call the White House today at 202-456-1111 or send a message to whitehouse.gov/contact. Ask President Obama to support the peaceful protest and act on behalf of the 17 million Americans who depend on the Missouri River for their clean water.
