Right now: thousands gather in Northern Minnesota to march and perform a direct action to oppose the construction of the Line 3 Pipeline, which they say endangers treaty rights and clean water.
I won’t be able to livestream this, but will update when I can and video later!

#TreatyPeopleGathering
Hundreds of activists are crossing over a wetlands area from the street and are on a wooden footbridge erected ahead of new construction of Line 3, which will be between these orange markers.
Indigenous activists and supporters stand in the Mississippi River in an area claimed as the property of Enbridge, which they see as an illegitimate claim based on treaty rights and Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution.
Meanwhile, activists have effectively taken over one of the Line 3 construction sites, where work was apparently stopped for the day.
Sheriff’s deputies are standing by on the road but but stopping people from going in and out as they erect barricades outside.
