Let's do this as ADVOCACY without hatred or animosity.

Line 5 is an aging old pipeline beneath the Straits of Mackinac. It carries light crude oil and natural gas, and is owned by the same company (Enbridge) that allowed the Kalamazoo River oil spill to occur. This pipeline poses too great of a risk to our Great Lakes.

No Enbridge Tunnel Rally! Calling all Water Warriors/Protectors, Friends of the Mackinac Bridge Authority, Michigan Voters, Tribal reps and citizens, and those that love the land and water in Michigan! We stand United! Dress Warm!! Bring Signs and tribal flags!

YOUR CALLS/EMAILS ARE NEEDED!

The "Lame Duck" period begins in the MI state legislature on Monday, November 26 and will run 2-3 weeks. This is when all of the Republicans who were voted out of office in November come back for one last attempt to pass terrible legislation. If you care about the environment, women's reproductive rights, or workers' rights (sick time and minimum wage), PLEASE make your voice heard.

Let's eat cake and write to the 6 Michigan Senators who have sponsored or are reviewing SB1197, a bill that transfers a proposed completed tunnel under the Bridge to the Mackinac Bridge Authority, without funding or impact studies--and possibly removing Enbridge from liabitlies of tunnel or pipeline failures.
All material supplies will be provide. Your individual thoughts are valuable.

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.
