Water protectors take direct action to halt construction of Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline
Minneapolis, August 17 (RHC)-- In northern Minnesota, where resistance to construction of the Enbridge Line 3 tar sands pipeline continues, four water protectors locked themselves to each other and to machines halting a pipeline worksite near Hay Creek. Their protest followed similar direct actions last week.
More than 700 water protectors protesting Line 3 have been arrested to date. If completed, the pipeline would carry more than 750,000 barrels of Canadian tar sands oil a day across Indigenous land and fragile ecosystems. Line 3 has the backing of the Biden administration.
