In Just 2 Minutes, Van Jones Perfectly Explains Why Standing Rock Matters So Much

Van Jones, who became one of the breakout liberal pundits of the 2016 election, stopped by Chelsea this week and gave a stirring defense of Standing Rock as a continuation of the civil rights movement. But before that, he gave the uninitiated an easy-to-understand breakdown of what's at stake and why it matters. It's a great primer for anyone who feels like they need more clarity on the Dakota Access pipeline — or some ammo to talk intelligently about the issue if it comes up over the holiday dinner table.
