Last night 10 climate activists, support team members, and videographers spent the night in jail across four US states after five of them shut down all the tar sands pipelines crossing the Canada-U.S. border. The action was, in the words of the activists, “to avert climate cataclysm” and to support the on-going protests against the North Dakota Access Pipeline.
In an act of solidarity to the First Nations trying to stop the highly controversial pipeline, they shut down Enbridge’s line 4 and 67 in Leonard, Minnesota; TransCanada’s Keystone pipeline in Walhalla, North Dakota; Spectra Energy’s Express pipeline in Coal Banks Landing, Montana; and Kinder-Morgan’s Trans-Mountain pipeline in Anacortes, Washington.
Their actions were “to avert climate catastrophe and stand with the Standing Rock Water Protectors. We must stop the fossil fuel industry in its tracks.”
