At Civil Liberties Defense Center, we\u2019ve witnessed this courage firsthand \u2013 from Standing Rock water protectors in North Dakota, to Stop Copy City forest defenders in Atlanta, and pipeline resisters in the Pacific Northwest (and nationwide).<\/p>\n<p>CLDC will forever advocate for Tribal sovereignty, and supports the work of many Tribes, Indigenous peoples, communities and groups. As we live and work on stolen land, it is our duty to protect what takes care of us while we are here.
