The actress, who recently starred in The Fault in Our Stars and Snowden, shared a photo on Instagram along with a poem and a series of hashtags.

"One day, baby, we'll sing our poetry. the words dripping from our tongues wet with ripened patience. and the lyrics, the sweet fruits born from the seeds our aging hands are now sowing. #alwaysinallways #heartforward #uptous #NoDAPL #protectcleanwater #iamonyourside," she wrote.

Woodley has been aligned with the protesters' cause since the news of the pipeline started to spread.
