FARGO, N.D. – Some people in Fargo are voicing their opposition to Dakota Access and Line 3 oil pipelines through exercise.
Subzero temperatures didn’t stop these joggers from making their way from Island Park to City Hall and back on Tuesday.
The group is running in solidarity with the Standing Rock Youth Council, which is completing a bigger challenge of 93 miles in a relay. They say these pipelines will negatively impact the water supply of the people of Standing Rock and similar communities.
“We want to extract the pipeline get it out stop the flow which the judge the North Dakota judge district judge already said it was illegal to have running,” Hunkpapa Lakota of Standing Rock member Henry Gipp said.
