Today’s Action: Stop the Line 3 oil sands pipeline!
It should have been enough that recent Line 3 oil sands pipeline permits were granted by lackeys in the Trump administration that believe climate change is a hoax, or that doing so broke treaties made with First Nations, or that a code red report on climate change should have the entire planet working to end our reliance on fossil fuels, but, in defiance of all good reason, construction continues on the dangerous Line 3 pipeline.
Just last Thursday, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources ordered Enbridge Energy, the pipeline’s owner, to pay $3.3 million for already damaging a sensitive aquifer during construction for Line 3 after the company dug 8 feet deeper than they told the state they would. It’s clear that Enbridge does not feel bound to any sort of environmental regulations, and President Biden has an obligation to end construction on Line 3 immediately,
The Line 3 pipeline is more than just a mistake — it’s a gamble with some of our most sensitive ecosystems and marginalized communities. Write President Biden and tell him to make good on his climate campaign promises and stop construction on Line 3 now! Send him this petition with more than 50,000 signatures calling for the Line 3 permit to be revoked!
While President Biden could revoke the federal permits issued by the Trump administration that the pipeline depends on, he has yet to do so. We need our elected leaders to aggressively tackle climate change. The past several months alone of unprecedented drought, flooding, heatwaves, and devastating storms illustrate the need for immediate, meaningful action.
If completed, Line 3 would be one of the largest crude oil pipelines in the world. Which means that 915,000 barrels of tar sands crude, some of the Earth’s dirtiest oil, would traverse delicate wetlands, rice beds, and lakes daily, in violation of First Nations treaties and at great peril to our environment.
Write President Biden and tell him not to choose oil over our planet and our First Nation communities. Demand he revoke federal construction permits for Line 3 now!
