Horses, Daryl Hannah, sacred fires and Neil Young these are some of the things youre likely to see on the National Mall starting Tuesday as part of the latest protest against the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Reject and Protect protest is a weeklong event hosted by the Cowboy and Indian Alliance, a group of ranchers, farmers and leaders of seven Native American tribes. Protesters said activists also plan to project anti-pipeline messages onto the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday night, hold an interfaith ceremony outside the Georgetown home of Secretary of State John Kerry and stage an unspecified bold and creative bit of civil disobedience.
Theyre estimating that as many as 5,000 activists will take part in a march past the Capitol on Saturday. The rest of the week is expected to be more intimate.
