SIGN THE PETITION

This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer the will of the people is to #ShutDownLine5

Building a tunnel for Enbridge Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac is not a solution to protect the Great Lakes, 400 other water bodies, including Lake Michigan, or our dangerously overheating climate.

Oil BurnSign to protect the Great Lakes from *another Line 5 oil spill

Dear Gov. Whitmer:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 73-year-old Line 5 crude oil pipeline that has leaked at least 33 times into Michigan's environment. Even when its oil isn't spilling into the water, it adds to our climate crisis when burned by spilling carbon into the atmosphere every day. The time to end the threat of a catastrophic oil pipeline rupture is now. Instead of leaving a vulnerable and hazardous oil pipeline operating in the Mackinac Straits for years while trusting a dishonest Enbridge to protect the Great Lakes, I support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge you to prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.

* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

    Do the right thing. We have only one planet and only one system of Great Lakes.

    I just purchased 5 acres of beautiful white pine parcel & a house in Cheboygan. My fear is that my property will be worthless, if Line 5 breaks. I have a private well that could be contaminated. I live next to the Cheboygan River. Every day that line is running, we are gambling with 20% of the world’s fresh water. Why? For some Canadian Company that has spilled before, that has sickened and even killed people that lived near the Kzoo River, to transport the dirtiest oil on the planet thru Michigan for Canadian use? WTF???
