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, Governor Whitmer, protect the Great Lakes from the very real potential, and probable, devastating disaster posed by Line 5. Please take a stand and prevent the oil tunnel from being built, and shut down Line 5 permanently.

    As a former resident of Michigan and a person who has multiple family members still living there, I strongly support the closing of Enbridge Line 5!

    It is too risky in many ways! Please shut it down!

    Line 5 is a disaster waiting to happen. Even if the tunnel is approved it will take months if not years to complete, adding to the strain on an already obsolete underwater pipeline. Enbridge’s record of leaking pipelines and questionable justifications is in the public record. To take this risk at a time when clean sources if energy are increasingly available makes no sense. Please do what you can to stop the tunnel project and shut down Line 5.
