At least nine people were arrested Tuesday as hundreds took part in direct actions against oil and gas extraction in Vermont and upstate New York. Protesters blockaded trucks carrying fracked gas in Addison County, Vermont; blocked construction on a fracked gas pipeline in Williston; and staged a lake flotilla in Ticonderoga, New York. Using the slogan, “Not by truck, not by rail, not by pipeline,” organizers denounced attempts to make the Champlain Valley into an oil and gas corridor. The events are part of a week of action marking the second anniversary of the Lac-Mégantic oil train derailment, which killed 47 people in Quebec.
