A BIG day in the fight for OUR Great Lakes . . .

Attorney General Nessel filed legal action against Enbridge on behalf of the people of Michigan to decommission the Line 5 oil pipeline. “I have consistently stated that Enbridge’s pipelines in the Straits need to be shut down as soon as possible because they present an unacceptable risk to the Great Lakes,” said Nessel. “Governor Whitmer tried her best to reach an agreement that would remove the pipelines from the Straits on an expedited basis, but Enbridge walked away from negotiations and instead filed a lawsuit against the state. Once that occurred, there was no need for further delay.” THANK YOU

LINE 5 - Governor Whitmer is for closing line 5 but Enbridge has now filed a lawsuit against Michigan looking keep the lame duck deal by Governor Snyder for a tunnel!

Calling the Governor is very easy - the consistent line is: 517-335-7858
A staff member will answer the line and will take a message to pass along. They will ask for your name and where you live (city). We just called and passed along this short message: "I'm calling to urge the Governor to take action to protect the Great Lakes from Line 5 and to work to remove the threat as soon as possible. Enbridge can peruse alternatives on their own without assistance from the state." #StayStrongGov #NoOilTunnel
