Activists Arrested Resisting Pipelines in Texas, Tennessee & Florida
--------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
