Donald Trump’s move to revive the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines sparked a number of emergency protests last night in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia and other cities. He signed the presidential memorandum as water protectors at Standing Rock in North Dakota were gathered to testify to a wide range of police abuse.
At the Sundance Film Festival, actor and activist Shailene Woodley, who recently starred in the film “Snowden” about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, called for action against funders of Dakota Access Pipeline. She participated in a protest Monday against the festival’s sponsor Chase Bank over its support for pipeline and was arrested in October for protesting against it.
