“We will continue to press forward in this fight. Line 5, tunnel or not, isn’t doing the US any favors. This is a Canadian pipeline that benefits Canadian consumers, while putting US residents and treaty-protected waterways at great risk,” [Bay Mills President Whitney] Gravelle said. #ShutDownLine5

It's a good time to be heard -- #ShutDownLine5, #NoStraitsTunnel!
Powerful action in WI today to #ShutDownLine5!
"Activists say that the aging Line 5 should be shut down rather than rerouted due to the imminent threat of an oil spill, its violation of Indigenous treaty rights, and the need to stop the fossil fuel extraction that is driving the climate crisis."
“There’s a certain amount of hubris involved in saying we’re going to stick a 40-mile pipeline through the earth, and if we mess up these wetlands that nature has created over thousands of years, we’ll just put them back together again." #ShutDownLine5

Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) approved permits on Friday for Canadian oil giant Enbridge to reroute its Line 5 pipeline around and upstream of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation, where it has operated in illegal trespass for over a decade.
Enbridge still needs federal approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers, which in August received more than 150,000 comments from project opponents, including health professionals, faith groups, and regional businesses. This is the response from Chairman Blanchard and the Band’s attorneys at EarthJustice. Graphics via Communities United by Water. #ShutDownLine5

Enbridge's old Line 5 pipeline threatens the Great Lakes and the Bad River Band's reservation. We're grateful to our allies who traveled to meet with the Canadian consulate in Chicago last week, calling on the Canadian government to #ShutDownLine5
The oil this pipeline carries crosses northern Minnesota too before entering Wisconsin and Michigan, as part of the Enbridge Mainline System, the multi-state pipeline network that brings some of the dirtiest oil in the world to the Midwest.
