A benefit show ‘We Rock With Standing Rock’ will take place in Los Angeles on December 18, with a roster including Sky Ferreira, Fiona Apple, TV on the Radio, Riley Keough and more.

The funds raised from the show at Fonda theatre will go towards Native Children’s Survival, Seeding Sovereignty Project, Oceti Sakowin Camp fund and Give Love, who promote ecological sanitation. 

It was early this week that news came from the US Amy Corps of Engineers, denying the permit for Energy Transfer Paterners’ Dakota access pipeline. The pipeline, which was being constructed near the Standing Rock reservation, was a major threat to water access, local environment and the land’s sacred status among Native Americans.

Thousands of protesters have gathered onsite since August to challenge the pipeline’s construction, with Shailene Woodley, Vic Mensa, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith standing alongside others from across the country with the Sioux tribe.

“The levels of deprivation, unconscionably low life expectancy, infant mortality, and the adolescent suicide rate all point to the continued need for us to stand in support of First Nations people,” TV on the Radio’s Kyp Malone, one of the concert’s organisers, told Rolling Stone. “We need to keep the light shining on this. We won this battle but the war does go on.”

There’s potential for the decision to be appealed, and Trump’s administration have come out in favour of the pipeline – Standing Rock needs people to continue to stand with them.

Tickets go on sale for the show on Friday December 9.
