Join the Fight to Stop Line 3
Support activists and organizations, including Winona LaDuke and Honor the Earth, on the frontlines fighting against the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota.
Tribal nations, community and environmental groups in Minnesota have fought for six years to stop Canadian oil giant Enbridge Energy from building the massive Line 3 pipeline in Northern Minnesota, which would transport oil from Canada’s tar sands region to Superior, Wisconsin. The pipeline violates treaties with the Ojibwe people that establish their right to hunt, fish, and gather along the proposed route. The pipeline would cross 200 bodies of water, including the Mississippi River twice.
If built, Line 3 would carry hundreds of thousands of barrels a day of tar sands crude oil -- some of the dirtiest oil in the world -- and would contribute the equivalent of 50 coal plants worth of carbon pollution to the atmosphere. Its carbon footprint would exceed the entire state of Minnesota’s and, like Keystone XL, would extend the economic viability of the ultra-polluting crude oil source in a way that one expert famously called “game over for the climate.”

Educate Yourself & Others
Share these factsheets and Line 3 info with your community. Write articles or letters to the editor of your local paper. Contact your tribal leaders, City Council members, County Commissioners, and Governor Tim Walz to ask that they publicly oppose the Line 3 pipeline.
Organize
Organize a demonstration, teach a workshop, paint a banner, host a fundraiser, scout the pipeline route, or distribute food and supplies! You can also join the community at the line and protest in person in Minnesota.
