More than 1,000 protest Line 3 at Minnesota Capitol

Indigenous leaders and anti-pipeline activists gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol in protest Wednesday as construction on Enbridge's Line 3 nears completion.

Opponents of the controversial Line 3 planned a series of Treaties Not Tar Sands demonstrations that began Monday at the Capitol in St. Paul. Wednesday's protest called on Gov. Tim Walz and President Joe Biden to halt construction of the 340-mile pipeline, which will carry oil from Canada to Superior, Wis.

At least 1,000 people gathered on the Capitol grounds Wednesday afternoon, where protesters young and old danced on the lawn, some holding signs that read "Break free from fossil fuels" and "Honor the treaties."
