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.

    Please no tunnel! There is so many concerns and the destruction of the lake bed will pollute and damage our environment forever. We don’t need it and there are other ways that Canada can route that dirty oil. Thank you, Lori Bonifas

    I did not realize this pipeline existed until I saw the film “Troubled Water” on January 19 2026 on Wisconsin public broadcasting WPT. Shutting down the pipeline is something that should definitely be done.

    With these known facts being a matter of record as presented; and costs so great on both sides of the issue; A measure to shut it down temporarily for a period to enable inspection, and should proceed immediately.
