If built, Enbridge's proposed Line 3 pipeline would transport 760,000 barrels of dirty tar sands oil through our communities every day. It would cross the Mississippi River, northern Minnesota lake country, pristine wild rice lakes, the Lake Superior watershed, and the Chippewa National Forest.
Enbridge, the Canadian company pushing Line 3, has a terrible track record of devastating pipeline spills. Between 1999 and 2010, it was responsible for more than 800 pipeline spills, including the Kalamazoo River disaster which saw 843,000 gallons of toxic tar sands crude dumped into Michigan's waterways -- costing more than a billion dollars to cleanup and making local residents sick. Gov. Walz has to stop the same thing from happening in Minnesota.
Tell Minnesota's Gov. Walz to do everything in his power to #StopLine3, a project that could devastate our fresh water supply and critical Indigenous cultural resources for generations to come.
We need leadership from Minnesota to stop this dangerous tar sands pipeline expansion. The more Gov. Walz hears from us about the risks of this project, the more likely it is that he will stand with us against a dirty tar sands pipeline that could affect all of us for generations to come.
The truth with these hazardous pipelines it's not a matter of if a pipeline will spill, but when. Tar sands are one of the dirtiest sources of oil on the planet, and when they spill into the water they are nearly impossible to clean up. Too much is at risk for Governor Walz to let this pipeline run through our waterways.
