TransCanada’s Proposed Potomac River Pipeline Protested
By Kevin Zeese for Popular Resistance. The protest was a powerful show of community opposition, see Facebook Live video below. People stood silently to show their opposition. Organizers instructed them to stand in a corner silently, but they still took up most of the room. The group than started to sing "Down to the River to Pray," a Christian folk hymn written by an African American slave describing studying 'the old fashioned way' when going down to the river to pay. After singing the group went back to silent protest, standing silently for more than 10 minutes.
