A rally featuring Senator Bernie Sanders (I) and political activist Van Jones attracted hundreds outside the White House Tuesday. News2Share's Ford Fischer and Alejandro Alvarez were there. The protest against the four-state Dakota Access Pipeline was part of a wider "Day of Action" across the country.

Members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe attended. The tribe filed a lawsuit lawsuit against the pipeline, but so far a judge has declined to block it. Some members of the tribe ran from North Dakota to Washington to deliver a 140,000-signature petition this summer.

Speakers called on President Barack Obama to block the pipeline using his executive authority.
