Violence against Indigenous women bill needs your support
Please contact Senator Limmer, Chair of the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee, and urge him to let SF515 go through as a stand-alone bill. After all, it addresses a long standing historical injustice that needs to be acknowledged and stopped. It is not a bargaining chip for future negotiations.
Line 3 Pipeline - Pack the Room! - Study Needed
Thursday; Feb 22, 8:30a-11:30 - State of Minnesota Public Utilities Commission.
PACK THE ROOM!
On February 22, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission will consider whether to require a full tribal resources survey before deciding to approve or deny the Line 3 pipeline. Line 3 is a project by the Canadian pipeline company Enbridge to build a huge tar sands pipeline across northern Minnesota, the Mississippi River, and tribal treaty land. A project of this scale absolutely needs a full survey of tribal impacts.
Let's fill up the hearing room, support the tribes and environmental groups and others opposing the pipeline, and show the PUC that we're here and we care and we're not going anywhere.
