Dear John,

We’ve known about the collaboration between Enbridge and Minnesota law enforcement for months, and this week we learned even more about the lengths a Canadian multinational corporation has taken to suppress Line 3 resistance. Yesterday, it was reported that Enbridge has paid local Minnesota police over two million dollars to incentivize the surveillance, brutalization, and arrests of water protectors.

Yesterday, we also saw more evidence of how the Minneapolis Police Department terrorized us in the days following George Floyd’s murder - and were reminded that no officers have been disciplined for their conduct, even as our city faces multiple class action lawsuits for their violent behavior.

If you aren’t familiar with what happened in Minneapolis in May and June of 2020, please read this article and share it with your community. If you are familiar, I hope you are taking care; I appreciated Sheila Nezhad’s recognition of the trauma that many of our neighbors are dealing with, and Kate Knuth’s reminder that Mayor Frey is complicit in this trauma.

Across Minnesota, we need to prioritize safety - not policing that continues to reveal its white supremacist roots, and that protects power and property instead of people. Take action for a Minnesota that keeps us safe by making sure we all have stable housing, clean water, and trained professionals who are committed to serving with care and compassion:

Make your voice heard and vote in your local election by November 2nd. Check in with your community to make sure they have plans to vote, too!
