Enbridge Line 5

This is an organized event to start sending supplies to support the Camp in northern Michigan fighting line 5. It is intended to both become an ongoing process, and hopefully ignite other communities to begin organizing locally to support the fight for the great lakes and to organize local community together. We will have space for donations and also teaching and activities happening. .

an updated list of needs will begin to be posted on top, and updated as received. Please contact to get involved.

Indigenous leaders/organizers for the Pipe Out Paddle Protest, the Ann Arbor Light Brigade, and the Detroit light Brigade will be gathering on the beach at dusk to create a WATER IS LIFE and SHUT DOWN LINE 5 message. We will need many people to help hold letters, signs, and space! Please invite your facebook friends, family, and community.

Join the Sierra Club and Oil and Water Don't Mix on Monday August 6th for the quarterly Pipeline Safety Advisory Board. Attend and give Public Comment to tell the Board to listen to the evidence and protect the Great Lakes. Michigan does NOT need Line 5!

There will be time for comment from the general public. Those wishing to make comments must register at the sign-in table.

This is the last final March for the week! We will meet at the Capital and March around the area to the MDEQ, and there offices.

It's time for the 65 year old, failing pipeline that runs under the water next to the Mackinaw Bridge to retire!

This lakeside house party is co-sponsored by Oil & Water Don't Mix, The League of Women Voters Ann Arbor Area, and RetireLine5.org. We'll munch a bit, watch the livestream video from Traverse City Opera House to get the latest update on Line 5, and talk with each other about the actions we can all take to shut this pipeline down before it makes Pure Michigan putrid.

April 23, 2018, marks the 65th anniversary of Enbridge’s easement that allows them to operate two pipelines, collectively known as Line 5, in the Straits of Mackinac.

It's time for Line 5 to retire. These pipelines were estimated to last 50 years yet, they are currently shipping 23 MILLION gallons of oil & gas through the Great Lakes everyday. Line 5 is a major threat to the drinking water of 35 million people and enough is enough.
