Minnesota State Capitol: Line 3 Pipeline Protest at Night

Protesters gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul on the night of September 27, 2021, to oppose the construction of Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline. The demonstration called on Governor Tim Walz and President Joe Biden to halt the project, which was nearing completion and faced significant opposition due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding tar sands oil transport. The Minnesota State Capitol building, completed in 1905, serves as the seat of government for the state and has been the site of numerous public gatherings and protests throughout its history.
