Treaties not Tar Sands

On Aug. 25, several hundred protestors gathered at the MLK Recreation Center in St. Paul. Since Aug. 7, a group of water protectors have been traveling on foot 256 miles from Line 3's upstream Mississippi River crossing in Itasca County to St. Paul. They are protesting Line 3, the controversial Enbridge oil pipeline expansion project that is nearly complete. Supporters of the water protectors joined them for the final two-mile walk to the Minnesota Capitol where ongoing actions were scheduled. All who walked the final two miles walked in silence.
