Jane Fonda Joins Indigenous-Led Movement Against Enbridge's Line 3 Pipeline
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indigenous land and water protectors on Monday led several direct
actions across the U.S. and Canada against the construction of
Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, which would carry more than 750,000 barrels
of tar sands oil a day through fragile ecosystems - endangering lakes,
rivers and wild rice beds. Award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda
joined calls to stop the pipeline in Minnesota.

Jane Fonda: "We were driving down the highway, and we saw this, and we
saw the pipeline that they want to lay under the headwaters of the
Mississippi. That company, Enbridge, it's a foreign company. It's
bringing oil from Canada, tar sands oil, the worst. We're here to try to
stop it."
