Connections: Local "Protectors" Discuss Protests At Standing Rock

A number of people from the Rochester area have traveled to Standing Rock to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. 

On Sunday, the Army Corps of Engineers said it will not approve an easement that would allow the pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. President-elect Trump supports the pipeline project and says he will reexamine it after his inauguration.

Local "protectors" join us to share share their feelings about what lies ahead. Our guests:

  • Luc Watelet
  • Lisa Giudici
  • Isabelle Bartter
  • Angel Jimerson
  • Lauren Jimerson
