Protest organizers are part of a new organization called Troublemakers and said they’re trying to send a message to Amazon leadership. The group defines its focus as non-violent civil disobedience intended to raise awareness about the perils of climate change. Specifically, protesters pressed Amazon to abandon plans to use natural gas from a regional pipeline project recently approved by federal regulators — TC Energy’s Gas Transmission Northwest Xpress pipeline expansion.
