For the first time in far too long, the Michigan Office of Attorney General stood up in court to protect the waters that belong to the people of Michigan. We've been working to hear opening arguments in a lawsuit to decommission Line 5 for years.

AG Seal

Please join us in signing this thank you letter to Attorney General Nessel and her team.

The wealth and power of the entire fossil fuel industry and their allies are aligned against us and our Attorney General, but the title of this case is “THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN v Enbridge.”

Let our advocates in the Attorney General’s office know that the people they represent have their backs and are thankful for the hard work and long hours they are putting in to face off against the wealthiest and most powerful industry in the history of the world.

 

Dear Attorney General Nessel, Deputy Attorneys General Manning, Reichel, and Bock, and staff of the Environment, Natural Resources, and Agriculture Division:

On May 22nd, we watched the Michigan Attorney General’s office take a stand to protect our public water resources on behalf of the people. Michigan residents have been asking for this for a long time and we thank you all for your efforts on our behalf.

For years, we have been calling for action to shut down the Line 5 pipeline, which as you know presents a constant and unnecessary threat to our state’s greatest treasure. It is inspiring to see the work that you all have put in to bring this case on behalf of the people. While the oil industry and other powerful financial interests are aligned against you, know that the people of Michigan and people around the world who value our Great Lakes are in your corner.

We know that this case is a long way from being decided, but we are grateful for your efforts, and the people of Michigan are with you as this case moves forward.

Thank you all!

    Dear AG Nessel,

    You are my hero to fight the way you have to decommission Line 5. Also, thanks for putting Trump in his place last week! Shine on, Karen

    I could not be more proud of the Attorney General of Michigan and her staff for their steadfast defense of the rule of law. Keep up the terrific work on all fronts, the people are behind you. I find it immensely refreshing and inspiring to see public officials engaging in thoughtful and heartfelt PUBLIC service. Which is an interesting commentary in itself (i.e. that an informed citizen should find it so surprising to be well-represented by government officials.) Thanks for “turning this bus around!”

    Many thanks for working to protect one of Michigan’s most important resources — the water that supports our tourism industry, the water we use for boating, swimming, recreation — and the water we drink.

    I applaud and support AG Nessel and her “spine” in taking on Enbridge……not an easy assignment. I live on Beaver Island. I cannot fathom a spill or rupture that would cause irreparable harm to our Great Lakes.

    As a property owner very close to the Straits I am horrified at the thought of any kind of an oil spill in the pristine waters. Thank you for helping fight against this unnecessary project!

You can help now.
