Greenpeace Activists Hang From Houston Bridge To Protest Oil Shipping
Twenty-two Greenpeace USA activists created a blockade on the Fred Hartman Bridge in Baytown, Texas, early Thursday ahead of the third Democratic primary debate in Houston.
Eleven of those climbers are dangling over the side of the bridge, an activist said in a Facebook Live video.
Those climbers will hold ribbons and streamers to block traffic under the bridge.
The group aims to “shut down the largest oil export channel in the U.S.” for 24 hours.

La Porte Police Department and Harris County Precinct 8 Constables are monitoring the scene.
