Following the North East Regional Climate Justice Gathering/ The Make more than 200 people accompanied by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra and the Bread and Puppet Theater marched through the Statehouse on August 11 demanding a moratorium on new fossil fuel infrastructure and proposed budget cuts. Currently under construction is a pipeline that would bring fracked gas from Alberta to service a paper mill in New York state.  State Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Montpelier, was blocked for two hours by the procession after exiting the Statehouse. No arrests were made.
