#OneYearAgoToday we provided live coverage from a massive direct action by Indigenous water protectors and their allies at Enbridge's #Line3 Two Inlets pump station in Hubbard County, MN.
500+ people took over the station from 8 a.m. to past sundown, some remaining locked down to a "Good Trouble" boat overnight during a thunderstorm to continue to blockade the station's access road.
Around noon on June 7, 2021, a helicopter from the Department of Homeland Security flew dangerously low over the crowd, sometimes just 20 feet above the ground, kicking up dust and debris.
