Water Protector Scales Water Well-Drilling Rig
Water Protector Buck Johnston of Taos, New Mexico pulled off a daring 4-day direct action at the top of a multistory well drilling rig this week. On March 14th, accompanied by a small action support team, he scaled the equipment and hooked into the top of the multi-story tower with a climbing harness. He brought food, water, sleeping bag, and a plan to remain in place for four days. Buck Johnston's action has already achieved one of its important goals: breaking the silence in the community around the deep well drilling.
