Biden: Support Water Protectors #StopLine3

Water Protectors converged on the Minnesota State Capitol demanding The Biden administration honor the treaties and do its part to stop climate chaos. The ONLY decision consistent with acting on climate and respecting Tribal Nation’s treaty rights is to STOP Line 3.

Help us amplify their demands and continue the fight and let President Biden know that climate talk means nothing without putting a stop to Line 3.

Dear President Biden,

In solidarity with thousands of supporters in the State of Minnesota, and around the country, I urge your administration to take bold, executive action to oppose the Line 3 tar sands pipeline.

The path of Enbridge’s proposed Line 3 pipeline cuts through pristine wetlands and watersheds in northern Minnesota, through the heart of Minnesota’s lake country and some of the largest and most productive wild rice beds in the world. Many Anishinaabe communities along the Minnesota portion of the proposed route are opposed to the project, making it in violation of the internationally recognized principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent for impacted Indigenous peoples.

The global scientific community agrees that we have less than 10 years to halt and cut global emissions or face catastrophic consequences to civilization. To put that in real economic terms -- the State of Minnesota’s own analysis projects that Line 3 has a climate change cost to society of $287 billion in damage over 30 years. Thank you for taking the "No KXL pledge" and establishing a climate test for proposed pipelines. Will you demonstrate the same climate leadership on Line 3?

I support your declared leadership for a liveable climate and don’t want to see this pipeline undercut your promise to act in the face of the climate crisis. Your leadership is urgently needed to encourage MN Governor Tim Walz to reject the remaining permits and put a stay on construction activities to demonstrate respect for Indigenous rights, to protect our water, and to secure a livable climate for generations to come.

Kind regards,
