350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Friends,

This morning, Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal overturned the Kinder Morgan TransMountain pipeline approval.

This is a huge victory for Indigenous rights, for communities, and for our planet. Together, we can stop ALL dirty tar sands pipelines.

Courageous pipeline fighters in Minnesota are currently facing off against the enormous Line 3 tar sands pipeline, including 30 people who were arrested yesterday taking direct action to urge the Governor to stop the project.

We know how pipelines get stopped: by thousands of people standing together and taking action. You can help stop another tar sands pipeline – stand in solidarity with Indigenous water protectors and call the Governor of Minnesota today.

Enbridge Energy secured their permits in June to move forward with the project – ignoring the input of tribal nations and climate science. Our friends and allies in Minnesota have asked us to stand with them and call their Governor, Mark Dayton, to thank him for his work opposing Line 3 so far and ask him to intervene and stop Line 3.

This pipeline would transport more than 760,000 barrels of tar sands oil from Canada every day, crossing the Mississippi headwaters and forcing downstream pipeline expansions throughout the Midwest.¹ It would be disastrous for the climate — and devastating for communities near and far.

Can you take three minutes to call Governor Dayton today? We have a sample script and everything you need.

Indigenous-led resistance is stopping the fossil fuel industry in its tracks. It’s been 521 days since Trump ‘approved’ Keystone XL, and it still hasn’t been built. Not even close.

Pipeline fighters and Ojibwe Bands opposed to Line 3 filed legal challenges against the pipeline’s environmental review, and are building resistance on the ground and in communities.

If built, this pipeline would put a $287 billion cost on future generations from climate change, contributing to climate chaos we’re already watching play out in the forest fires all across the west.²

Can you call Minnesota’s Governor right now and let him know that you expect him to do everything in his power to ensure that the Line 3 tar sands pipeline is never built?

With your help, our movement can stop the illegal and reckless approval of more pipeline projects. Together, we won the fight against the Kinder Morgan pipeline, and together, we can win against the Line 3 pipeline and every other new fossil fuel project that is proposed.

Thanks for making the call.

Kendall
