SIGN THE PETITION

This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer and Sec. Buttigieg, 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 & Secretary Buttigieg:

An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 71-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.

    Enbridge has proven lack of transparency a d concern for the well being of our water and the health of our people. They put profits above truth and health. Please STOP THE TUNNEL! Stop Embridge from risking our water, our health, our economy, our state’s beauty.

    As a former Michigander and current Wisconsinite, I urge you to protect our precious water. Just say no to Line 5 in any form, including a tunnel.

    The cumulative negative impact of Enbridge’s pipeline ruptures of oil into and on Michigan’s land, rivers and lakes is monumental. The possibility of oil rupturing into the Straits of Mackinac is totally unacceptable. Allowing this possibility to remain is unforgivable. We have alternatives. Fulfill the promise of you campaign. SHUT DOWN LINE 5.
