#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.
There were about 200 arrests stemming from the Two Inlets pump station occupation, making up a quarter of the arrests since the final approval of the new #Line3 pipeline at the end of November 2020. Many water protectors are still facing charges and trials.
The new #Line3 tar sands pipeline was complete and began operations on October 1, 2021.
