SOLWAY, Minn. – Actress-activist Jane Fonda called on President Bien to pull the plug on Line 3 pipeline construction through sacred Ojibwe lands and waters. She hoisted a sign with President Joe Biden’s image that said: “Which side are you on?” It was her second visit in six weeks to the Mississippi headwaters to protest the 1,100-mile pipeline project. As others chanted “Stop Line 3!” and “Water is life!” I the background, Fonda gave media interviews. She urged continued pressure on Biden to halt construction to allow more study harm from Line3 to the environment and indigenous people. The Mississippi River is one of the water crossings for the pipeline. Fonda said Line 3 protesters “are going to Standing Rock this place” – a reference to months of sit-ins that stalled the Dakota Access pipeline project at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in the Dakotas.
