When: Saturday August 19^th beginning at 10am 
Where: Madison Farmers market
How: Coach Bus from State Fair Park - Park & Ride, West Allis

This Saturday August 19, 2023 at 10:00am protestors will have a makeshift pipeline, banners, signs, and water bottles full of oil contaminated water.

We will be urging people at the Madison Farmers Market (on the North end of the market) to sign our petition calling on the WI DNR to reject permits for the pipeline.

We will then march to the DNR office 5 minutes away and hold a press conference to urge all watching to demand the WI DNR prioritize clean water over the fossil fuel industry profits.

• through a Native American reservation
• and runs under water through Lake Superior and Lake Michigan
• This pipeline pumps 22,680,000 gallons of crude oil through our land and waters...every...single...day.
• The pipeline has had many spills throughout it's lifetime
• A larger spill could:
  • damage fish spawning grounds
  • affect drinking water for wildlife
  • destroy Copper Falls State Park
  • damage miles of shoreline of Lake Superior.
