Kamasi Washington Stands With Standing Rock Protesters Despite Worsening Conditions

The situation at Standing Rock Native American Reservation continues to worsen, as many who are there report the use of water cannons and chemical attacks on peaceful protesters during 25 degree weather. Musicians and celebrities have been rallying in support for Standing Rock, including rising superstar Kamasi Washington. Washington made his way to the North Dakota protest site, where he personally witnessed some of these inhumane attacks firsthand.

Kamasi Washington posted the following to his Instagram to chronicle the events.

Standing with all my indigenous brothers and sisters protesting @standingrock as they endure water blasting in freezing temperatures and chemical attacks by police. Solidarity is so important in this time we’re in. I’m with you! We all must do what we can to fight this. #NoDAPL
