Eaton Impact presents an evening of music, art and justice. Mark Tilsen (Ogalala Lakota), a frontline water protector, will be sharing the story of the Bayou Bridge pipeline resistance in Southern Louisiana, headquartered at L'eau est la Vie camp. He's raising funds for the camp as the fight for the bayous, basins, and farmers of Louisiana drags on. We'll also be joined by Crank Lukongo, the Uptown Boyz, and la Colombopercutiva, who share indigenous sounds and rhythms from across the world in solidarity with the water protectors of L'eau est la Vie. Mark will also be reading poetry from his new anthology: "It Ain't Over Until We're Smoking Cigars on the Drill Pad: Poems from Standing Rock and the Frontlines."
