Water protectors take direct action against Enbridge Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota

Minneapolis, December 7 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Minnesota, Indigenous-led water protectors have launched a series of direct actions against the construction of Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, which would carry more than 750,000 barrels of tar sands oil a day through fragile ecosystems — endangering lakes, rivers and wild rice beds.  

Activists say the pipeline violates treaties signed by the U.S. in 1854, 1855 and 1867.  Water protectors are also sounding the alarm over thousands of out-of-state workers brought in to work on construction of the Line 3 pipeline, warning they may add to a massive COVID-19 outbreak that’s already overwhelming hospitals in rural Minnesota.
