Amanda Heads to Standing Rock

On February 3 WES Senior Leader Amanda Poppei heads to North Dakota for a week to support the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Bismarck-Mandan and their solidarity work with the Water Protectors in Standing Rock.  The Trump Administration recently gave the green light for construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which is opposed by the Standing Rock Sioux and many other indigenous people.  As a Minister-in-Residence, Amanda will volunteer as needed, to help a small sister UU congregation in its social justice efforts.  Safe travels, Amanda!
