Fossil Fuel Extraction. Oil Spills. Water Pollution. Tax Subsidies to Big Oil. Climate Change. More Extraction.
It's time to break the cycle.
We are a coalition of water protectors working to stop Enbridge and shut down Line 5. It is only a matter of time before we see catastrophic damages from this aging pipeline.
Enough is enough. It’s time to protect the Great Lakes and End Line 5!
TAKE ACTION
We don't need Line 5 oil
Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline carries up to 540,000 barrels worth of oil and natural gas per day from Superior, Wisconsin to Sarnia, Ontario, but we don’t need those fossil fuels to meet our energy demands.
Protecting the Great Lakes is critical.
Line 5 is a crude oil and natural gas pipeline that crosses directly through the heart of the Great Lakes, threatening the drinking water source for over 40 million people.
Enbridge is operating Line 5 illegally.
Enbridge continues to operate Line 5 in spite of a 2020 state order to cease operations from the Governor of Michigan. Enbridge is doing this without a valid lease to submerged lands for the project.
Oil spills have happened. They'll happen again if we do nothing.
Enbridge's pipelines have already spilled over 1.1 million gallons of oil into the Great Lakes watershed. Line 5 was only meant to last 50 years, but it's over 70 years old now.
The Great Lakes hold 84% of Turtle Island’s surface freshwater. 40 million people rely of the Great Lakes to provide drinking water and even more depend on the ecosystem services and economic opportunities they provide. Let's safeguard the future of one of the most important biospheres in the world!
Thousands of people are stepping up to stop Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline. Sign up to get updates, action alerts, and key Line 5 information to stay in the know as we work together to End Line 5.
Thank you for joining the movement to End Line 5!
We'll be in touch soon!
