The fight has drawn supporters from both the U.S. and Canada. In Seattle, Washington, on Friday, about 60 protesters laid a 50-foot-long pipeline through the executive lobby of JPMorgan Chase’s Pacific Northwest headquarters and created a mock oil spill in a protest against the bank’s financing of TransCanada and other pipeline companies. This is Rachel Heaton, a Muckleshoot tribal member who joined the protest.

Rachel Heaton: “This is about our future generations. And that’s why I have my 5-and-a-half-month-old boy out here. It’s because ultimately the decisions that these banks are making, that we’re making, all have to do with their future. And, you know, the idea of them not having clean air to breathe or clean water, it’s such a horrible thing to think about, but the fact that it just doesn’t bother some people… And so we have to come out here and talk about this. And so, really, this fight isn’t just about attacking the issue of pipelines, but it’s also about what are we doing for our future generations.”
