Fossil fuel giant Enbridge is planning to build a toxic tar sands pipeline across Indigenous lands and the fresh water lakes of northern Minnesota.
Minnesota-based leaders have already delayed the project for seven years, but a recent push by Enbridge is bringing the project dangerously close to completion.
Line 3 is a proposal for a new pipeline that would cover more than 1,000 miles from Hardisty, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin. It would transport an average of 760,000 barrels of tar sands crude oil from Alberta each day, with a maximum capacity of 844,000 barrels per day.
If built, Line 3 would release as much greenhouse gas pollution as fifty new coal fired power plants. It would violate Ojibwe treaty rights and put the state’s water, ecosystems and communities at risk.
The pipeline is beginning construction, despite challenges from Indigenous nations, leaders, youth climate intervenors, land owners and environmental groups.
During the digital rally we’ll hear the latest news from Minnesota on-the-ground leaders, frontline defenders, statewide organizers and finance campaigners.
