We work with landowners, environmentalists, tribes, and anyone who shares our goals. We oppose the use of eminent domain for private gain and laws that criminalize peaceful protest.
Our aim is to stop the flow of tar sands oil through the Midwest by denying extractive industries a means to get the oil to markets via pipelines. In this way, we are helping to defuse the “carbon bomb” that climate scientist James Hansen stated would mean “game over for the climate.”
Our current priority is to #ShutDownLine5. Learn more about our Line 5 campaign, which is at a crucial stage and needs your help, below and here.

Now that the commenting period is over, we can work on multiple ways to strengthen our movement, informing those who haven’t heard of Line 5, and activating those who are still on the sidelines. Here are some ways you can participate:

Those who spoke in opposition to the Line 5 expansion highlighted a long list of flaws in the dEIS.
