Buy Boston Band Prints to Benefit Standing Rock Water Protectors

Wanna help the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe defend their land, protect their waterways, protest corporate greed, and receive a lovely little print of your fave local band? Boston-based photographer Nick DiNatale has you covered.

After seriously considering going to Standing Rock to document the horrific events, DiNatale instead opted to hold a benefit for the Oceti Sakowin camp, who are at the front line protesting the North Dakota Access Pipeline. His photos of the bands who played Coach Fest II back in mid-November at the Middle East are affordable (5×5” prints are just $5, 10×10” prints are $15) and just in time for the holidays or your next Pinterest-inspired home decor project. Plus, 100% of the profits will be donated in an effort to raise money and supplies.

And it goes without saying that your money is going to do good for these Native activists and the millions who depend on the water they’re protecting, especially ahead of the government-ordered December 5th eviction date.

In black and white group portraits, DiNatale captured stills of bands like dæphne (top left), Save Ends (top right), and Lilith (below), but that’s just three of the eighteen bands featured in the series; view the rest here
