The battle in Brooklyn over National Grid’s proposed pipeline got hot again Friday morning, after police arrested ten protestors who blocked the pipeline’s construction.
“This was a nonviolent direct action,” Jonathan Minard told Bushwick Daily, who was among those involved with the demonstration. Minard is part of Extinction Rebellion, a protest group that was started in the UK and is known for shutting down locations–the group’s prominence dates to its shutting down a number of bridges in London in 2018.
Extinction Rebellion was also prominently involved in a rally earlier this month that shut down the pipeline’s construction.
