HOW YOU CAN HELP
Tell the Army Corps not to re-route the dangerous Line 5 pipeline
For more than a decade, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has fought to remove the Line 5 oil pipeline from their homeland in northern Wisconsin. The pipeline company, Enbridge, now wants to re-route the pipeline to get around the reservation’s boundaries, keeping the oil and the profits flowing while putting the entire watershed and the people who depend on it in the path of a potentially devastating oil spill.
