IMPORTANT!!! I got it from Sister_Medusa who got it from someone else... just spread the word
You talk about your fierce warrior women:
The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, Cecilia Fire Thunder, is hoping to open a Planned Parenthood clinic on reservation land.
“I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction."
If you want to mail donations to the reservation, you may do so at:
Oglala Sioux Tribe
ATTN: President Fire Thunder
P. O. Box 2070
Pine Ridge, SD 57770
OR: and this may be preferred, due to mail volume:
ATTN: PRESIDENT FIRE THUNDER
PO BOX 990
Martin, SD 57751
Enclose a letter voicing your support and explaining the purpose of the donation. Bear in mind, the Pine Ridge Reservation is not exactly rollin' in the simolians, so do consider donating funds directly to the tribe as well as specifically for this effort.
Send whatever you can. Please make checks payable to OST Planned Parenthood Cecelia Fire Thunder. This will ensure that the funds get routed properly.
For email correspondence, you may contact the president at:

That is Ms. Fire Thunder's personal email address; she has given her permission to have it posted on likeminded journals. For the sake of record keeping, do cc: the listed address on all correspondence; that's her official secretary.
When she was contacted, Ms. Fire Thunder expressed surprise that so many people around the country are so eager to help her see this through to fruition -- and even more surprised that the news had spread so far so fast. She's likely to get deluged with screaming hate mail soon, so get your support in as quickly as possible. Send email showing your support even if you can't send money.
And, yes, please link this far and wide.
