Nebraska ranchers arrested in D.C. pipeline protest

A group of farmers and ranchers from Nebraska spent some time in handcuffs Wednesday after joining the Sierra Club and others outside the White House in protest against the Keystone XL pipeline.

The farmers are Bold Nebraska supporters who have partnered with Nebraska Sierra Club and Nebraska Farmers Union for a week of meetings with the US State Department and various Members of Congress to express the ongoing concerns of risks to U.S. water, soil and property rights. The week concludes with a rally on Sunday, called Forward on Climate.
