USA: Protesters picket Clinton’s Brooklyn office over Dakota oil pipeline support

29.10.2016
Around 40 protesters rallied in support of the 'Dakota Water Protectors' outside Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign offices in Brooklyn, Saturday. The protesters, who were organised by the New York Green Party, were demanding that Clinton revoke her support for the project.
Protestors came with banners reading "Greens stand with standing rock" demonstrating their solidarity with those protesting against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Since it was approved in late July, the 1,886-kilometre (1,172 mile) pipeline has sparked outrage among Native American communities and locals. The project, which would cost around $3,8 billion dollars (€3,3 billion), is expected to carry crude oil from the North Dakota region, north of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's lands, to South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, if completed.
Standing Rock Sioux tribe has garnered the support of thousands across America. Thousands of Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country have travelled to North Dakota to camp in solidarity with the tribe.
