#Activist #TreeSit in #Ancient #Cottonwood Continues Against #BorderWall Construction in #Arizona
August 19, 2026, via @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss
"A protest camp in the small border town of Lochiel, Arizona, is seeking to stop federal contractors from building another portion of President #Trump’s border barrier with Mexico. At the center of the protest camp is a 200-year-old cottonwood known as a '#grandmother' tree, with activists sitting in the tree to physically stop its destruction.
" 'People are successfully forcing the government to stop, to slow down, or at least change course on border wall construction,' says journalist John Washington, a staff writer for the queer news outlet Lookout and author of multiple books about immigration. 'They’ve been very clear that this is both an environmental and a political fight.' "
