Actresses Shailene Woodley and Riley Keough will join 30 Native American youth at a rally in Lafayette Square, in front of the White House on Saturday, August 6th at 1 pm.

They’ll deliver Change.org petition signatures from a campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline which has been endorsed by a long list of celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Alison Sudol.

The rally takes place as the culmination of a relay run the youth began from the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, over 1,500 miles to Washington D.C.

Shailene Woodley has already visited the Standing Rock Youth multiple times at their encampment near the pipeline’s construction and later in Dayton, Ohio, along the run, which she livestreamed from her Facebook page. You can check out the video here.
