Pipeline foes gear up for large northern Minnesota protests: Organizers say they expect hundreds of people to participate in the
“Treaty People Gathering,” which they are billing as the largest show of
resistance yet to the project. They plan to march to the headwaters of
the Mississippi River, one of the water crossings for the pipeline,
where they will deliver speeches and participate in organized civil
disobedience.
Opponents of the project have said they will do whatever it takes to
block completion of the project, including risk being arrested. Among
those they say will be on hand Monday will be actors Jane Fonda,
Catherine Keener, Rosanna Arquette and Taylor Schilling, as well as
environmentalist and author Bill McKibben.
