More than 100 march in Cortez against Dakota pipeline

More than 100 marchers attended a rally in Cortez City Park on Saturday to support the ongoing Dakota Access Pipeline protest at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota.

At issue, said the organizers, is the potential risk for contamination of the Missouri river from a proposed oil pipeline that would cross under the waterway.

Organizer Heidi Brugger, of Cortez, led marchers on the sidewalk around the block, as they carried protest signs and chanted “Water is life” and “You can’t drink oil, leave it in the soil.”
