Read MoreSo much happening in what feels like plain sight that we are choosing to ignore – but we ignore at our own peril. We are trading the priceless future of our rivers, our lands, our women for nickels that will be overspent and worthless much sooner than we recognize.
So what can we do?
Tell President Biden to #StopLine3 As the ice on the rivers thaw, it’s more important than ever that we contact President Biden and tell him how vital it is that he Stop Line 3 and protect our lands, air and water. President Biden can stop construction immediately.
Sign the petition asking President Biden to #StopLine3
Donate to Honor the Earth (tax-deductible) or to the frontlines.
Join a protest of rally – follow #StopLine3 or Honor the Earth for updates
Monitor the construction with Watch the Line MN
