Water and Oil Don’t Mix: Protesting Against Line 3

by WAMM Newsletter Committee

Protesting Against Line 3

Indigenous water protectors and friends in the environmental movement protest Line 3, a replacement pipeline with twice the capacity of the existent one. If it goes forward, Line 3 will carry crude oil from Canadian tar sands across more than 300 miles of northern Minnesota, violating treaties, threatening wild rice wetlands and other clean water sources. Protectors moved to the Governorā€™s Mansion in St. Paul on November 14, when the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) granted a construction permit to the company, Enbridge. Oil pipelines have been proven to leak, contaminating land and water.
