pipeline protest
Anti-infrastructure direct action
A pipeline protest is organized opposition to the construction or operation of oil or gas pipelines, typically on environmental or indigenous rights grounds.
The term gained prominence with protests against projects like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL: Pipeline protests blocked construction for months.
Such actions often involve camps, blockades, and civil disobedience.
