As reported by Ed Schultz on RT America News, hundreds of Native Americans, climate activists as from 350.org and Climate First!, and celebrities rallied at a U.S. Courthouse in Washington, D.C. in support of Standing Rock Sioux Tribe resistance to the Dakota Access [oil] Pipeline in North Dakota.

The segment is described:

A rally in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their lawsuit to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline brought some Hollywood superstars to Washington, DC. The tribe argues that the pipeline threatens their water supply and thus, their existence. RT America’s Alexey Yaroshevsky spoke with actress Susan Sarandon at the rally. She said the issue isn’t “sexy enough” for the mainstream media to cover and that these sorts of projects are built in “places where they [the government] think no one has a voice.” (emphasis added)

Schultz interviews Jane Kleeb, founder of Bold Nebraska, a lead group in the victory against the Keystone XL Pipeline. Kleeb is now chairperson of the Nebraska Democratic Party.
