Pipeline protests
Olympic Climate Action, in partnership with the Clallam Progressives and Racial Justice Collective, will host two protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline on Saturday.
The demonstrations, both from 11 a.m. to noon, will take place outside the U.S. Bank branches in Port Angeles, 134 E. Seventh St., and Sequim, 101 W. Washington St. Protests also have taken place for the past two weekends.
U.S. Bank is among a number of banks financing the pipeline, according to a news release.
Participants are asked to bring signs if possible and dress for the weather.
The news release states that “this protest is not against our local bank branches, staffed by our neighbors and doing everyday community banking, but rather with their corporate headquarters.”
For more information, contact Ed Chadd at 360-775-9234 about the Port Angeles demonstration or Carole Woods at 360-775-3877 about the Sequim protest.
