Minneapolis, June 16 (RHC)-- Water and land defenders in Minnesota are continuing resistance actions against Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline.  On Tuesday, activists blockaded a semi-truck loaded with drilling equipment, lying on the ground and attaching themselves to the vehicle.  At least 30 people were arrested.

This came a day after a Minnesota court upheld a state approval of the pipeline’s expansion. The Native-led group Honor the Earth said: “Line 3 is a clear violation of human rights + cultural rights to live as Anishinaabe people promised in the #1855Treaty. [President Biden] must #StopLine3.”
