The Book is out!

What was it like at Standing Rock? Within these pages I’ve tried to capture the essence of that special place and time. What was it like? Did they really lock people into dog kennels? What now? 

I am happily, finally, releasing the Standing Rock book for purchase! It has been in the works for some time but I believe it is as relevant as ever and worth the wait. It’s been a process. There was a lot of getting things out and then putting it down for a bit, and so on. The most recent, great development has been the addition of a foreword by the legendary Long Walker and activist, Chief Goodwolf Kindness. We’ve just returned from another epic journey and are compiling that adventure as the next part in the Peace Standards series: Bee the Change.

Peace Standards was first inspired by the fire lit at Standing Rock. Please read and share with your *classrooms, your community groups and those you speak with who are feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. There’s hope for peace. 

Standing Rock is available in paperback and PDF; Bee the Change is coming soon!

*Please contact for Academic and Not-for-profit pricing.

There are also many other ways to support the mission, please do!

Our precious pollinators are leaving us. It’s been said that if they do, it will likely mark the beginning of the end for us… so how does walking save the bees?

Moving Fundraising from GoFundMe To Popmoney

Why not GoFundme, Crowdrise, etc. ?

In fact, many of the fundraising platforms are managing their transactions with the same corporations I’ve tried my hardest to divest from… Chase bank, for example, operates WePay which Gofundme and many other fundraising platforms use. See an example of banks to divest from here.

Why *Popmoney?

It is a secure way to transfer money directly from bank account to bank account, there’s no middle account; it is trusted platform by many top banks and credit unions. Popmoney is a product of CheckFreePay, owned by Fiserv; neither of which are on the list of corporate financial institutions to divest from that I know of.

Your bank might even be using Popmoney. It is likely a service that you can setup within your own online banking (in your bill pay section) – see if your bank is participating; if not, register with Popmoney then send support directly to the mission referencing our account email: lindseylouonthemove@gmail.com.

*No money, no problem – there are Many ways to support the mission.

The credit union that we bank with provides Popmoney for free, and so 100% of your gift goes toward the mission… many of the fundraising platforms and their ‘transaction gateways’ charge a percentage; 5% of any gift is a real chunk of resources.

Here is a video made by my credit union that explains it nicely, they’ve also made a nice FAQ.

Checking In – still on the move in 2017: Standing Rock, alternate facts and real progress!

Tell you what team – I left for an adventure to Standing Rock, October 2016, and it has changed my life!
For those who have been following, supporting, sharing, divesting (!) – Thank You! I’m proud of us, for myself and so many of you, for becoming more engaged than we have in our entire lives; it has been depressing at times, I know; and to keep paying attention is a daily struggle, I know. 

Thank you for your patience – this will be my return to posting since around the time I was arrested.  It is hard to describe how camp works exactly but to say it takes good intentions and a good bit of learning, humility and energy to figure out one’s place – is an understatement.  Anyway, I was just finding my niche around this time and it kept me so busy each day, before the sun rose to after it set that the daily trip to connectivity lost its priority; it felt amazing!

Then, if you keep up on the Transparency log, you will be able to track the expenditure of all your wonderful donations to the cause: driving elders, gathering winter supplies, and transporting new water protectors to camp!

Since that time:

  1. Thousands of Veterans arrived to camp to protect the water protectors from the Army Corps of Engineers’ December 5th, eviction notice.
  2. In response to the mobilization,  Obama ordered another halt on the project, required the Army Corps to stand down and enforce the completion of the Environmental Impact Statement (of which public comments are needed) – therefore No more impending doom for the winter!
  3. Most essential personnel stayed at camp through the harshest part of winter – awaiting Trump’s inauguration day and alternate facts.

I came home to California and knew my life would never be what it was before…

(How does one speak boldly without excluding someone?)

Friends, please know it is Very important to me that you know I support you just as you have supported me. I do not, I Cannot judge your lives or life’s work.  We each have a purpose the fulfilling of which is unique to each of us. In the case of differences – bipartisan, orientation, spiritual, etc. – differences of any nature, I can only be the best Me in trying to understand, and in trying to focus on commonalities and grow love from these.  Even of my enemies, I hope this from myself and others…

That said, thankfully my bogus Morton County Felony was dropped but… going forward, I will always be the person in your life who went to North Dakota and stood in civil disobedience against racism and numerous (and still counting) violations against humanity by “public servants” on the ground up to the highest offices of our country for the sake of profit and “progress”; and the saga continues. 

My eyes have been opened to many things – ultimately to the facts:

  • There are organized forces in this world operating in darkness under the prerogative that any means justify the ends and are operating by day in positions which control how and what media networks cover and what they do not, what airs and what does not, what is spoken about in Presidential candidate debates and what is not.
  • The rest of us work so much, so much more than the 40-hour-week we commute to, that doing anything else feels impossible. Keeping up with our family and closest relationships, our own health – outside of work (!) is hard enough.

Yet, We can sense the brokenness of it all (there is our common ground) – education, healthcare; our very own democracy and “American Dream” is no longer our freedom, it’s our debt!  Where do we begin with that?! It’s all so big.

My eyes have been opened and there Is hope (how about that #womensmarch; and the tallying wins as conveyed via the Resistance Report).


I knew when I began this journey not everyone would be able to come and I understand this. I understand the obligations you have to your families and I know they are not obligations at all, but Blessings… the joys of life.  It is the obligations we’ve built around these things that are illusions we’ve been marketed and it is upon all of us to open our eyes and acknowledge, disown, reject, organize, boycott and divest (how to do it and where to go) from the things that have become Unacceptable during our complacent time of abundance and comfort.  EXAMPLE of Unacceptable: CDC Knew Its Vaccine Program Was Exposing Children to Dangerous Mercury Levels Since 1999.

I’m uncovering things. This is the journey you have supported thus far.  What next?

I’ve written a book (!)…captured a piece of history that shall never be forgotten with inklings, how-to’s, of replicating the efforts of reclaiming our humanity from greed.

I’ll continue to go where not all can and to uncover buried things.  To further study my hunch about Reverse Progress, our most pertinent mission to go backward in order to go forward – like putting heart back into everything we do (as the Lakota have reminded me to do), like taking chemicals back out of food and water and clothing, like taking money back out of democracy; remembering what life once was and must always be: shelter, food, water and those yet unborn.

In all of my travels, tribulations, and simple joys – you, my family, all my relatives, are always with me. Me/We!

Cheers!
