[Editor’s Note: This action happened Saturday, September 24]

A total of 12 people were arrested today at the Mississippi River access point for the Dakota Access Pipeline. John Bagelman, Jessica Reznicek, and Rachel “Rae” Machado locked themselves to a backhoe today at approximately 6 am before workers arrived on site. They have been charged with trespassing and will be released on their own recognizance. The 5 who were part of the scheduled protest later in the afternoon were charged with trespassing after entering the pipeline work site and were released within hours of their arrest. The Mississippi Stand encampment offers non violent direct action training each Saturday at 10 am at 3333 Mississippi River Road near Keokuk, Iowa.
