Native Activists Face Horrendous Abuse Protesting Line 3 Pipeline

Indigenous leaders are fighting back against the Line 3 pipeline project that would violate treaty territory of Anishinaabe peoples in Minnesota. Protestors have faced horrendous abuse by police agencies for fighting back, including tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets, and pepper bullets. Line 3 leader Tara Houska joins The Freedom Side LIVE to describe just what’s happening and what they’re fighting for. Tara is also founder of the Giniw Collective, a tribal attorney, and a Couchiching First Nation citizen.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.

We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.

People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
