Thousands of protesters took to the streets of central Los Angeles, Sunday, to demonstrate against the planned restarting of construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The protesters departed from Pershing square and marched to the Edward Roybal Federal Building, carrying banners and chanting slogans against the pipeline. The project, which was stopped in the final days of former US President Barack Obama's reign and relaunched by an executive order by US President Donald Trump in January, is set to cross sacred Native American land as well as to pass underneath the Missouri river. Since it was approved in late July, the 1,886-kilometre (1,172 miles) pipeline has sparked outrage among Native American communities, North Dakota locals, US citizens, and people around the world. The project is expected to carry crude oil from the North Dakota region, north of the tribe's lands, to southern Illinois when it's completed by the end of the year. Thousands of Native Americans representing tribes from all over the country have travelled to North Dakota to camp in the solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux.
