b'Carolyn Harding with Claudia Sheehan, Anne Sparks, and Judy Smucker, three Athens County elders who traveled to northern Minnesota this week to support Indigenous women-led water protectors who are resisting construction of an enlarged tar sands pipeline that would take a new route through tribal lands, Enbridge Line 3.\\n\\n\\u201cWe stand in support of all who are trying to stop construction of Enbridge\\u2019s Line 3 pipeline because it would greatly increase flow into the U.S. of Canadian tar sands, a sludge with the same carbon-heavy crude oil as the recently canceled Keystone XL pipeline would have carried. This new section of pipeline will go under more than 200 waterways and cross Mississippi River headwaters twice. Construction, as well as likelihood of leaks, endangers resources, including wild rice, that are critical to survival of the region\\u2019s tribal communities.\\u201d \\n\\nYou are there at Line 3 in Northern Minnesota right now, tell us where this is and what is going on now......\\n\\nTHREE ATHENS COUNTY WOMEN TO STAND WITH INDIGENOUS WATER PROTECTORS IN MINNESOTA\\nRead Press Release at: http://www.acfan.org/?fbclid=IwAR09M1ZysPYfswOHF6YOKW6y9U51THewaMvcCv5wK93kFcBpAYf1hrrlc-Q\\n\\nhonorearth.org\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/giniwcollective/\\nstopline3.org\\nCover Art by Christi Belcourt https://www.facebook.com/christibelcourt\\n\\nGrassRoot Ohio, Conversations with everyday people working on important issues, here in Columbus and all around Ohio.\\n\\nEvery Friday 5:00pm, EST on 94.1FM & streaming worldwide @ WGRN.org,\\nSundays at 2:00pm EST on 92.7/98.3 FM and streams @ WCRSFM.org, and Sundays at 4:00pm EST, at 107.1 FM, Wheeling/Moundsville WV on WEJP-LP FM.\\n\\nContact Us if you would like GrassRoot Ohio on your local station.\\n\\nCheck us out and Like us on Face Book: https://www.facebook.com/GrassRootOhio/\\nCheck us out on Instagram:\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/grassroot_ohio/\\nIf you miss the Friday broadcast, you can find it here: All shows/podcasts archived at SoundCloud! https://soundcloud.com/user-42674753\\nGrassRoot Ohio is now on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../grassroot-ohio/id1522559085\\nThis GrassRoot Ohio interview can also be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAX2t1Z7_qae803BzDF4PtQ/\\n\\nIntro and Exit music for GrassRoot Ohio is "Resilient" by Rising Appalachia: https://youtu.be/tx17RvPMaQ8\\n\\nThere\'s a time to listen and learn, a time to organize and strategize, And a time to Stand Up/ Fight Back!'
