A spokesman for the group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement says they plan to use Civil Disobedience to continue trying to block the construction of the Bakken oil pipeline. I-C-C-I state policy director, Adam Mason, says the protest Wednesday could include members being arrested.

The Iowa Utilities Board awarded the permit for the pipeline construction to Dakota Access after several meetings and hearings on the issue. And the I-U-B denied a request from 15 landowners last Thursday to stay construction until a lawsuit is decided over the use of eminent domain on the project.
Mason says the group feels this is something they have to do after not having success in stopping the pipeline in other ways.

I-C-C-I will hold a training session for volunteers Wednesday morning near Pilot Mound in Boone County before the protest in the afternoon.
