press release: February Meeting: Pipelines threatening Wisconsin

We’ll learn about what our Tar Sands Team is doing on Enbridge’s Line 5 and other oil pipelines threatening Wisconsin and our climate. 

Line 5 runs under the Straits of Mackinac, putting our Great Lakes at risk. It also traverses the reservation of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in northern Wisconsin. The tribe is currently suing Enbridge, demanding that it remove the pipeline from the reservation. Enbridge has refused, despite the fact that its easements expired in 2013.

Enbridge is now looking to reroute the pipeline south of the reservation and just upstream of Copper Falls State Park, endangering that beloved park as well. The Bad River tribe wants any rerouted portion outside the Bad River watershed entirely.

Join us at our monthly public meeting to learn what we're doing to force Enbridge to decommission Line 5. Please join us!

Join us at our public monthly meeting where we learn, get inspired, collaborate and make plans to continue our fight to slow climate change. 350.org is a global community working to push our local, state, and national governments to take steps toward reducing the carbon in our atmosphere. We meet on the first Monday of every month (except for holiday conflicts), and always at the same time and place: Friends Meeting House, 1704 Roberts Ct, Madison, WI 53711
