Water Protector Legal Collective

Water Protector Legal Collective (WPLC) is an Indigenous-led nonprofit law firm that provides legal support and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples and Original Nations, the Earth, and climate justice movements. Born out of the #NoDAPL Movement and legal tent at Standing Rock, WPLC was the on-the-ground legal team that organized representation for hundreds of #NoDAPL Water Protectors arrested during protests to protect the Water, sacred sites, and Treaty lands impacted by pipeline construction. Today, as a legal holding line for the Earth herself, WPLC continues this work to protect protectors, sacred places and cultural knowledge, and uses the law and advocacy in strategic ways to address climate disruption and systemic threats to our Peoples and the Earth, advocating for corporate accountability, demilitarization, and harmonization of laws and policies with international human rights norms.

Wishtoyo’s mission is to protect and preserve the culture, history, and life-ways of Chumash and Indigenous peoples, and the environment everyone depends on.
