I Stand with Standing Rock
How are people using social media to fight for social justice in this particular situation?
People are using social media to protest with words, sharing photos, writing articles and creating videos to make others understand the situation with graphic content.
Research hashtags people have been using?
The hashtags are that being use for protest for Dakota Access Pipeline are #NoDAPL, #NorthDakota, #DAPL, #DakotaAccessPipeline, #StandingRock, #StandWithStandingRock, #HonorTheTreaties, #STOPDAPL, #SacredWater, and #RezpectOurWater.
How effective are these methods of action?
I believe these methods of action is very effective because their are more than few social media that people are using to spread words and stop the people who trying to run a oil pipeline in north Dakota, for example Facebook has almost 1.60 billion user, Instagram has 500 million user and twitter has 320 million user. I believe that our president “Barack Obama” will do something before his time over in officer.
What is environmental justice and role does social media play in fight environmental justice?
The environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The role that social media play in fighting for environmental justice is that helping create more attraction to the topic, involving more people in the situation of North Dakota pipeline, which give others benefits of joining over the social media to let their friends and family knows about it too, and create this protest strong how people care about river that only one with not poised by human.
What do you think can improve the strategy?
I think that strategy that can improve is people keep protesting until they stop the North Dakota pipeline and we need help from our president because all millionaire and billionaire care about make money and in North Dakota river that are the only river that has types of oil or any others stuff has been added to to water.
PART 2:
Summarize and write your opinion to the article?
This article “The largest bank in Norway, DNB, has sold its assets in the companies behind the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, and it’s considering whether to terminate three separate loans the bank has made to finance the project. The sold assets were worth $3 million. The loans under consideration finance up to 10 percent of the pipeline’s construction. Norway’s DNB is not connected to DNB First, which is based in Pennsylvania and is not involved in the Dakota Access pipeline.”
Seeing as that a big shot foreign company just divested from DAPL, what would you like to tell the American people to do? How can the American people and government create an environmentally just America? Be specific and explain why your suggestion is helpful in creating a just society?
I would like to tell all my fellas American people to stand with people of North Dakota Pipeline Protest because they are trying to make money, and we are trying to live healthier life and we are trying to save this river from getting poised one day for oil spill, American people can stand together and protest however they can to save the river from get access to the pipeline and government can help us by stopping this “DAPL” thing. This will prevent us from getting bad water from the river, it will help us having a only river that doesn’t have oil pipeline run in America and it will help us from getting any types of health problems.
Review PA Tax Dollar PSA assignment:
- This article is about North Dakota Pipeline that people are protesting against the oil pipeline and that the only river that doesn't have oil pipeline and people are counting about getting safe and clean water, they are think about what if the pipeline broke down some day it´s gonna spill all the oil and mixed it up with water and then people of Dakota will have no clean water, this protesting against the pipeline because they don't to get bad water they want to keep the water clean as it is. My reaction to this article is that is it a good things that they want to save only river that has not been puted oil pipeline and keep it like that, It's a good things to keep our river clean for clean water and keep our life from getting sick and stuff. Philadelphia people are involved with North Dakota Pipeline issue is that people from Philadelphia helping to North Dakota people love and support and standing against oil pipeline. We are give our taxpayer money to do stuff that necessary for our county but instead of improving they are trying to waste money and create more problem to the public for example if they run a oil pipeline between North Dakota river it will cause broken oil pipeline which will be no longer clean water for people to drink, So I want to send a message to families and friend to protest against this oil pipeline.
