Overview

- Houston police corralled the crowd with more than 50 officers, many on horseback, and no mass arrests were reported unlike 2025 when eight protesters were detained.
- Local groups including Fenceline Watch and Texas Campaign for the Environment led the action with Indigenous contingents from Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, and Laguna Pueblo.
- Protesters denounced new fossil-fuel projects as drivers of toxic air and water and linked the industry to conflicts in places like Venezuela and Iran, with banners calling to boycott Chevron.
