Since Jenny emailed you last week asking you to sign our petition to stop the Line 3 pipeline, there’s been an overwhelming response from our movement.
Tomorrow, the Biden Administration will unveil an "omnibus" executive order on the climate crisis. Our job is to get as many signatures as possible before then to make sure stopping the Line 3 pipeline is included in the executive order.
Please read Jenny's email and join the thousands of people signing the petition today.
We’re not wasting any time, John.
Defeating Keystone XL and joining the Paris Climate Agreement (again) were significant victories, but there’s another major tar sands pipeline underway – and President Biden has the power to halt construction immediately.
The Line 3 pipeline in northern Minnesota violates Indigenous rights and would carry the pollution equivalent to 50 coal power plants.
We must stop this pipeline — but we’re running out of time. The bulldozers and pipes have arrived. The good news is that we have a clear path to win:
Joe Biden can revoke the water permits granted by Trump, but he’ll only act if we generate enough public pressure. That’s why we’ve joined with MN350, Honor the Earth, and dozens of other groups to deliver thousands of petitions calling on Biden to stop Line 3.
This will be the first major climate test for President Biden, and if he means what he says about taking bold climate action, this project must be stopped.
Indigenous water protectors and allies in Minnesota have been fighting this project for years. But now the bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water in Ojibwe treaty territory.
Each week, Indigenous water protectors are taking peaceful direct action to protect their land. But the drones are overhead and the police are militarized. We need national pressure now.
In order to get Biden’s attention, we need thousands of signatures, but that’s not all. As we saw with the fights against Keystone XL and Dakota Access, it will take deep organizing and all of us supporting the frontline resistance on the ground with supplies, bail money, online amplification, and more.
Our team will personally deliver your signature to the Biden Administration, and we’ll share our number of signatures with the press to show our momentum.
Climate science and treaty rights clearly show that this pipeline would harm sacred sites and push our climate further into crisis. It must be stopped.
We know what it takes to win, and we won’t give up until we do.
Honored to be in this fight with you,
Jenny Marienau Zimmer
