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, 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.

    My mother and grandmother grew up in Michigan and shared many fond memories of Mackinac Island and the surrounding area. I hope that many other children can grow up enjoying this beautiful area and sharing fond memories with their own families; but if it’s ruined by more oil spills, that won’t happen. For the protection of our families’ futures, we need to stop pumping oil through the region, not just build a tunnel as a temporary band-aid.

    Do NOT allow the tunnel to be built and take the pipeline out of the Straits!

    I live south of Lake Erie. We can’t trust Enbridge with our water.

    Gov Whitmer, there is no more critical issue facing our state than this one looming threat. Any day now, our most important and precious resource could be destroyed forever. You know this. Please fulfill your campaign promise and shut this oil pipeline down!
