Today, Lakota people and allies stopped drilling on two active drill pads at Pe'Sla. We continue to hold the space in prayer for protection of Pe'Sla. Every day that we can stop the destruction of Mother Earth at this sacred site gets us closer to our demand that the Forest Service rescind the mining permit for driling at Pe'Sla.

THE RST SECRETARY’S OFFICE DOES NOT HAVE A DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNT.

This why our office cannot assist like we’d like to. We’d. Love to help if we could.

The procedure is, we get requests and they are forwarded to the Budget & Finance Committee who reviews them and approves or denies.
