Below are some initial photographs from the #XLDissent youth protest against the Keystone Pipeline being held today in Washington, DC. More than 1,000 youth activists marched through Washington, DC to the White House. They carried signs opposing the KXL pipeline and saying “We did not vote for KXL” and “Obama: Stop the Pipeline or The PEOPLE Will.” At the White House they chanted “We are unstoppable, another world is possible.” There was a die-in on an oil spill in front of the White House involving scores of youth, some of whom were arrested. At the same time, hundreds of youth zip-tied themsevles to the White House fence. They refused to leave after several police warnings and they began to be arrested. As each was arrested they shouted support to each other “We love you” they exclaimed.
