“Dakota Access protesters claim responsibility for pipeline sabotage” Des Moines Register, July 24, 2017

“Two Iowa activists with a history of arrests for political dissent are claiming responsibility for repeatedly damaging the Dakota Access Pipeline while the four-state, $3.8 billion project was under construction in Iowa.

Jessica Reznicek, 35, and Ruby Montoya, 27, both of Des Moines, held a news conference Monday outside the Iowa Utilities Board’s offices at the Iowa Capitol complex. They were taken into custody by state troopers immediately afterward when they abruptly began using hand tools to damage a state-owned sign outside the board’s offices.

Both women are involved in Iowa’s Catholic Worker social justice movement and described their sabotage as a “direct action” campaign that began on Election Day, Nov. 8, 2016.”
