“It is the largest tar sands pipeline in the world. This pipeline is the equivalent to 50 new coal-fired power plants. So, you know, if you're trying to save the planet, this is not the way to do it.”  (Winona LaDukeHonor the Earth, and member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe)

Treaty People Gathering
Saturday June 5 - Tuesday June 8
Minnesota Mississippi Headwaters

If you have any interest in Line 3 after reading the brief description below,  please click the links where you'll find background information, event safety information, lodging, transportation options, etc.

If completed, the Line 3 Pipeline will carry 700,000 barrels of dirty tar sands oil from Canada each day, violate Indigenous treaty rights, threaten waterways like the Mississippi, and lead to a jaw-dropping 193 millions tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

But as Enbridge continues to build Line 3 through Anishinaabe treaty land and the Mississippi headwaters, an Indigenous-led movement of land defenders and water protectors continues to lead historic resistance.

The Indigenous leadership of the resistance is calling on people from all parts of the country to converge on Minnesota and engage in direct resistance this June 5–8.

The world’s biggest 60 banks have provided $3.8 trillion of financing for fossil fuel companies since the Paris climate deal in 2015, according to a report by a coalition of NGOs.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic cutting energy use, overall funding remains on an upward trend and the finance provided in 2020 was higher than in 2016 or 2017, a fact the report’s authors and others described as “shocking”. The Guardian, March 24, 2021
