HeadlineJan 18, 2017

Actions against pipelines continue across the United States, including in Florida, where water protectors locked themselves to a truck Monday to stop the Sabal pipeline; in Memphis, Tennessee, where 12 activists were arrested at the Valero refinery at a protest against the Diamond pipeline on Monday; and in Texas, where two water protectors were arrested after locking themselves to heavy equipment Friday to delay construction of the Trans-Pecos pipeline, which is being built by the same company behind the Dakota Access pipeline.
