We celebrate President Biden’s use of his executive authority to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office, but we also remember that it’s not the only tar sands oil pipeline that needs to be stopped.
The Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota will cross through Anishinaabe land, violating treaty rights and putting drinking water, fish, wild rice, and the health of all beings at risk. Construction of the pipeline has been met by prayer and courageous resistance by the community.
At this rally, you will learn from Indigenous leaders about the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline resistance, their call on President Biden to stop it, and what you can do to stand in solidarity with water protectors on the frontlines.
Line 3 construction is well underway, running through precious wild ricing waters sacred to the Anishinaabe peoples and the Mississippi River headwaters to the shore of Lake Superior.
Over the past seven years, a powerful Indigenous-led movement of water protectors, land defenders, and ordinary Minnesotans has grown to resist this dangerous pipeline through the courts as well as through peaceful protest. They have been risking arrest and worse, putting their bodies on the line to protect their future, and ours.
Line 3 is proposed by Enbridge, the Canadian pipeline company responsible for the 2010 Kalamazoo River disaster, the biggest inland oil spill in U.S. history.
Let us stand with our Indigenous neighbors to stop the Line 3 pipeline–to protect treaty obligations, to prevent further climate crisis, and to create a world where everyone can thrive. Join us for the digital rally.
