Pipelines are a story. Pipelines are a commitment. From conception to construction, pipelines take a long time to come to fruition, and as the years pass, the fossil fuel industry hopes that the average citizen will not make the commitment to follow each pipeline’s multi-year narrative. It is difficult to mobilize without a clear narrative—and as a result, outrage often doesn’t reverberate outside of a proposed pipeline’s region. Even the most well-known fossil fuel projects, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and the Keystone XL Pipeline do not receive the media attention required for the general population to fully appreciate or follow the powerful resistance being mounted by their opponents.

With this in mind, we have grouped articles relating to specific pipeline projects together so that you can follow the projects and the activists fighting against them with each Climate Activism Roundup. We hope this will connect our readers with the stories of other individuals and communities facing similar struggles, and we hope that it will make it a little easier to make the commitment to follow the various pipeline narratives unfolding across the country and the world.
