John -
Our movement to stop the Line 3 pipeline was in full force this weekend. Momentum is building — but it will take all of us rising up and supporting the resistance on the frontlines to win the fight.
Over 100,000 people have signed so far, but your name is missing.
On Friday, water protectors took peaceful action to block construction at various locations along the pipeline:
Then on Saturday, more than 500 people gathered in St. Paul to demand that President Biden and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz honor the treaties and revoke the permits for Line 3:
Later in the day, Rep. Ilhan Omar from Minnesota’s 5th District met with Indigenous leaders from Honor the Earth and Giniw Collective in Northern Minnesota.
Rep. Omar said: “We owe it to future generations, to the Indigenous communities we've signed treaties with, and to every living being on this planet to stop building fossil fuel infrastructure.”
Stopping the Line 3 pipeline is the biggest climate fight we face in this moment. It is the only fully-funded, fully-approved tar sands infrastructure project in North America.
Winning is going to require hundreds of thousands of people coming together to create a multi-generational, multi-racial movement to demand Biden revoke all of the pipeline's permits immediately.
With thanks,
Team 350
