Free Lakota Warrior Ryder Rowland !
Donation protected
Ryder Rowland, an Oglala Lakota warrior from Pine Ridge, was arrested and is currently in Jail in Sheridan County Nebraska for a direct action that occurred in May of 2015 against White KKKlay Nebraska. Written statements by two former activists for Camp Zero Tolerance are the cause of charges being brought forward almost 4 years after alcohol sales ended.
The town of WhiteKKKlay lies less than 300 feet from the border of Pine Ridge, where the sale and consumption of alcohol is prohibited to this day. While WhiteKKKlay had a population of 14, there were 4 liquor stores in the town selling 13,000 cans of beer each day mostly to the Oglala Lakota on the Pine Ridge reservation. They maid roughly $34 million dollars in revenue annually. Through the efforts of the residents of Pine Ridge and supporters, these bars were shut down. Law enforcement officials continue to try and punish front line warriors who were able to shut down this genocidal hole.
We need to get him out of jail due to the obvious unjust treatment already shown by the judge and prosecutor handling his case. Bail is set at $2,700 dollars. Any and all contributions is greatly appreciated. Please share far and wide!
