Events

The 2024 election campaign season is well underway, and Michigan is one of the most hotly contested states. Candidates for state and federal office are campaigning across Michigan, and we have an excellent opportunity to show that shutting down the Line 5 oil pipeline matters to voters.

Join the Groundwork Center and Oil & Water Don’t Mix on Friday, March 8, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern on Zoom for a Lunch & Learn training and discussion on best practices for engaging political candidates on Line 5.

Learn how to hold officeholders and candidates accountable on Line 5 in positive and effective ways. Join the fight to protect the Great Lakes, freshwater jobs, and a way of life from America's most dangerous oil pipeline.

Background: President Biden must be persuaded to use his executive authority to shut down Line 5 before it's too late. The president and his challengers, along with candidates for Congress, will continue to hold voter engagement events in Michigan in the run-up to the November election. What would you say if you had the opportunity to talk to one of them face-to-face about Line 5? If you want to feel more prepared, this online training is for you!
