Meet the Pipeline Protester Facing 5 Years for Peaceful Action
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FOZWJV6bJY&ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21
We speak with climate activist and water protector Mylene Vialard, whose trial for peacefully protesting the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline began this week in Minnesota. Vialard faces up to five years in prison for her 2021 protest, when she attached herself to a 25-foot bamboo tower erected to block a pumping station in Aitkin County. Vialard, who lives in Colorado, had come to Minnesota to take part in a wave of Indigenous-led acts of civil disobedience to stop the pipeline. Between December 2020 and September 2021, police in Minnesota made more than 1,000 arrests. Mylene Vialard is just the second water protector facing felony charges to go to trial. “We’re destroying our planet. We’re destroying our way of life,” says Vialard. We also speak with Indigenous lawyer and activist Tara Houska, who was also arrested in 2021 for participating in a nonviolent action against Line 3. She says police violence against environmental and Indigenous activists has gotten “exponentially worse” since the 2016 Dakota Access protests at Standing Rock. “The crackdown on environmental protests is nationwide,” says Houska.

An open-pit mine planned upstream of #Boise
Canadian mining company to make another run at exploration for the potential and controversial CuMo Project open-pit mine
by John Robison, March 8, 2023
"In the highlands between Charlotte Gulch and Grimes Creek, Canadian-based mining company CuMoCo is hoping to gain approval from the Forest Service to construct up to 13.3 miles of new roads and drill 259 holes up to 3,000 feet deep for a mining exploration project. This project, called the CuMo Mine Exploration Project, is hoping to find sufficient copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) to justify one of the largest open-pit mines in the world – all within the precious #BoiseRiver watershed.
"In 2011, Canadian mining company Mosquito Gold proposed an extensive drilling plan in the mountainous area in the headwaters of #GrimesCreek. Local and downstream communities were alarmed as mining is the number one #polluter in the United States and even mining exploration can have adverse impacts. The Boise River is a precious resource – it provides more than 25% of Boise’s #drinking water supply and helps irrigate over 300,000 acres of cropland."
