Esther Dulberg Dane is home from Standing Rock. Os, us + +
Note from Esther:
Nov. 22nd, 2016-Dec. 12, 2016
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MOVEMENT AGAINST DAPL & CONTINUE TO WORK FOR WATER & LIFE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. From the Bay to Standing Rock, we are connected in prayer and action our love & dedication to each other and for the earth.

I have learned so much and met so many incredible people throughout this journey and continue to make connections and build the relationships that I have developed throughout the last month.

Here is an update on the allocation of funds from this GoFundMe, how the money was used & what projects I am contributing my time, energy, and any other funds gathered at this time:

Thanks to your contribution, I was able to provide:
-12x12foot wall tent with stove for warm winter tent
-cots for Elders & patients in Medic Area Warming Tent. This is a communal space for re-warming and a place for people to get clean, dry socks, pants, coats, hats, gloves, scarves and hand/foot warmers, to help prevent cold weather injury and illness and prevent mild cold injuries from worsening.
-0 degree sleeping bags (regular, extra long & women's)
-fleece sleeping bag liners (add at least 10 degrees of warmth)
-wool socks
-hand/toe warmers

-support to local Bay Area Indigenous friends to travel to Standing Rock to support Two Spirit Nation Camp

-provide direct monetary support to Native folks on the ground with specific needs

In addition, your contributions made it possible for me to:
-work for 2.5 weeks at Oceti Sakowin Medic/Healer Area during the day in Medical Supply, receiving, sorting, organizing, and storing supplies, getting supplies, medications, equipment to providers as the need arose.
-setup Decontamination Tent & Staging Area for Direct Action support.
-run as Street Medic during non-violent direct action
-run as Medic on emergency calls within camp, provide Basic Life Support, first aid, and emotional/physical support to people in need.
-work as Medic on call in Cannon Ball Community Center Emergency Shelter
-do Inventory of supplies for Emergency Shelter mobile clinic, develop list of needs.

The work continues...
I am working in collaboration with a group of folks cleaning up abandoned 3 season and summer tents that are not usable due to weather conditions in ND, to be transported, repaired, and distributed as shelters for folks in the Bay Area & other locations. We are gathering funds for this project & in the beginning planning stages, more updates to come.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS, FOR SHARING THIS LINK, FOR BEING ENGAGED, FOR TAKING CARE OF YOURSELVES & CHECKING IN WITH YOUR LOVED ONES, FOR CONTRIBUTING YOUR ENERGY, LABOR, AND LOVE TO THE WORK YOU DO! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Hello "Mox" et al ...
Don't know the name you mentioned. 
Being on this west coast, my photo-social connects have been purposely-happily-limited & to a few who Szarkowski happened to favor et vice-versa, circa +- '70.   Thrown loosely together.
No incline & I always taught at Berkeley High + ...
Flickr frees me to discover pictures I really like 

in a comradely-communal 'ghetto'!
Be well! From family names Dane & Thacher.Who knows who we were on your east coast in 1600.

[A message a hope]
Indigenous folks are still struggling at Standing Rock.
Black bodies are still catching cops' bullets.
Flint still doesn't have clean water.
Gentrification created Atlanta's worst homelessness crisis in years.
The Middle East and Africa are still drowning in drones.
Half the US still doesn't believe in climate change.
2.4 million refugees from Africa still need homes.
The US embargo is still in place on Cuba.
Private prison stocks are still on the rise.
There was an ICE raid in my neighborhood last month.
Muslim communities are still illegally surveilled.
Women still make less than men on average.
Black neighborhoods are still over-policed.
My grandma still can't afford medical bills.
I couldn't donate blood yesterday.
Racists spit in my face at protests.
Got called a "terrorist" last Friday.
And when I woke up this morning,
not much of this has changed.
The good news?
We've been organizing.
We'll continue organizing.
We will continue protesting.
Resistance will only grow larger.
There is always room for more comrades.
There is always room to educate, agitate, and organize.
We've been asking for folks to join us in the street, now do it.
All these problems and oppressions will still be here tomorrow.
The question isn't what evils will come at us, but how you resist.
I want to learn how to heal better,
how to hope better, how to build better,
how to fight better.
But I can only do that if we step away from inaction
and get comfortable with action.
El trabajo continúa, fam.

11/9/2016 From a Loved One in Atlanta:
Black people didn't vote! I know a lot of Black folks including myself who wrote in a candidate. THIS ELECTION IS NOT OUR PROBLEM! Our ancestors and elders (cause yall that really wasn't that long ago) fought and died for the RIGHT TO VOTE! Correction: Right to Vote was a strategy...it could be easily be called RIGHT TO WIN! We needed the right to vote for the right to run! We were supposed to have all the seats. Some of us won offices and sold out. My ancestor didn't die for the BULLSHIT! MISS ME!!

Control always comes up and
Having to do with pleasuring masterful fucking
Which has to do with everything
Most poignantly - in the absence of

But  Oh  the shortcomings
What better means to a living understanding of "out-of-control"

Saved my entitled-privileged-off-white-ass!
Places like Midland School could save millions of adolescent lives in our sad usa.
In capitalist culture - translates to a yearly $50k.
(I went 'free' as my grandfather had donated at Midland's start)
(('Outreach-scholarships' now exist + young women students))
In a democratic-communal culture Midlands would be a choice throughout the country.
With Citizens United +++ it is no longer up-to-us!
