Build Back Fossil Free march demands Biden cancel pipelines

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 02/11/2021 - 22:39

On the 11th of Feb, a "Build Back Fossil Free" march demanded new President Biden order the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to halt operation and cancel Enbridge's Line 3 that trespasses on Ojibwa land. Other demands included cancelling all other Federal support for fossil fuel infrastructure and supporting renewables instead.

DC's own Luke rose to the challenge, supporting the national campaign to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Cops stage fake kettle, harass They/Them FTP(Fuck the Police) march

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 02/07/2021 - 00:35

They/Them's weekly "FTP" march on Feb 6 ran into a police response that may have been capable of stopping the Jan 6 Fascist assault on the Capitol. On 18th between S and T streets, cops set bike lines trapping the protest. The north line moved out when protesters advanced towards it, but made it plain one command from a whiteshirt and protesters would have had to fight their way out.
