On November 26, 2016, activists Sandra Steingraber and Colleen Boland, from the group “We Are Seneca Lake,” were released from jail after serving eight days of a 15-day sentence for trespassing on the banks of Seneca Lake. The two women are part of a non-violent civil disobedience campaign that is seeking to prevent the storage of fracked gas along the shores of Seneca Lake. With 73 arrests so far, the community is trying to protect this crucial water source, which provides water for 100,000 people. Photo credit: Sandra Steingraber
