Shailene Woodley has spoken out after she was arrested for trespassing on Monday (10.10.16), and says she is still fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The 24-year-old actress was arrested when she was protesting against the proposed plans for the Dakota Access Pipeline, which aims to transport crude oil from the
North Dakota Bakken region through South Dakota and Iowa into Illinois, crossing the Missouri River.
The star was among a reported 100 protestors who turned up to the construction site for a peaceful protest,
amid concerns that the pipeline project could potentially cause irreversible harm to the drinking water
for the Standing Rock community - who live just one mile from the river - as well as the river's ecosystem.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (11.10.16), the 'Divergent' star continued her fight against the construction, using the hashtags "#NoDAPL" and "#protectcleanwater".
She captioned a photo of the river: "one day, baby, we'll sing our poetry. the words dripping from our tongues wet with ripened patience.
and the lyrics, the sweet fruits born from the seeds our aging hands are now sowing.#alwaysinallways #heartforward #uptous#NoDAPL #protectcleanwater#iamonyourside (sic)"
The news comes after it was reported that 'The Fault in Our Stars' actress had been released from Morton County Jail.
