One week left to make your voice heard! https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/submit_water_discharge_permit_comment

Dear Gov. Whitmer: Michigan's freshwater economy depends on keeping our Great Lakes safe for the next seven generations, and Enbridge's Line 5 oil tunnel is a step in the wrong direction. We need you to say #NoLine5OilTunnel!

Tonight (June 18 at 6 p.m. ET) is one of the last opportunities for public comment on the Line 5 oil tunnel.  Register now:

Here's what's happening with the Line 5 reroute project in Wisconsin 👇

NEWS: Enbridge says 500 at work on construction of Line 5 reroute in northern Wisconsin ⚠️ #ShutDownLine5 

Listen to a great breakdown about the current state of play with Line 5 from Interlochen Public Radio:

We all have the power right now to contact Gov. Whitmer's administration to reject the Line 5 oil tunnel permits. #NoLine5OilTunnel

Our next campaign briefing is happening Tuesday, June 9 at 7 p.m. eastern. Are you registered?

I want to protect the Great Lakes and all but as I explain in this post, Line 5 has been killing creatures and poisoning First Nations in Canada for decades. The disaster is already here.

The Line 5 tunnel is for Big Oil profit, not for Great Lakes safety. Reject the Line 5 tunnel project.  https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/submit_water_discharge_permit_comment

Join us for our June 9 Campaign Briefing! We'll show you concrete ways to amplify your impact to #ShutDownLine5 and answer any questions you might have. RSVP: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/monthly_campaign_briefing_20260609

Did you notice the airplane overhead at the annual Mackinac Policy Conference? ✈️

We had a message to deliver to Gov. Whitmer and Mackinac Policy Conference attendees this year... #ShutDownLine5

Enbridge’s oil tunnel is a ploy for the corporation to continue making millions each year while Line 5 remains open past its expiration date.

Enbridge is back with a different permit application, and this one could allow the company to discharge billions of gallons of industrial construction wastewater into Lake Michigan while it drills a tunnel through the Straits of Mackinac.

Scenes from today's gathering in Traverse City outside the Great Lakes Drinking Water Conference where folks showed up to say #ShutDownLine5 and demand that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) rejects Enbridge's permits for their risky oil tunnel plan!

Allowing paid fossil fuel propaganda is not a good look, @axios.com  👀

Say it louder... #ShutDownLine5

This week marks an important anniversary in the fight to #ShutDownLine5. Here's why we're still working towards this goal.

Big Oil doesn't care about how much your energy bills cost. They just care about extracting more profits –– even amid a global crisis.  #peoplevsfossilfuels #shutdownline5

Five years ago, Gov. Whitmer told Enbridge to stop messing with our Great Lakes. We're still celebrating this win, but Enbridge is closer than ever in building the Line 5 tunnel to would lock in another century of oil flowing through the beating heart of North America's largest freshwater ecosystem.

The final countdown for EGLE’s tunnel permit decision is imminent. On May 20 join advocates to peacefully uplift the importance of shutting down Line 5 at the Great Lakes Drinking Water Conference! Sign up here: https://forms.gle/xBus2qiD4wRQsfTe8

The clock is ticking on Line 5 and critical safety questions remain unanswered. PHMSA has never preemptively shut down a pipeline, and waiting is a choice we can’t afford to make in the Great Lakes.

We hope you'll join us and invite a friend to our upcoming campaign briefing next Tuesday - RSVP here: www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/monthly_camp...

PHMSA, the oversight agency charged with ensuring pipeline safety, has never actually taken a precautionary measure to shut down a pipeline. It’s time for PHMSA to break the pattern and protect our #GreatLakes before a disaster strikes. Read the full report below. @owdm.bsky.social #ShutDownLine5

An orderly shutdown of Enbridge's Line 5 would not harm energy supplies, but it would uphold Great Lakes protections and honor Tribal sovereignty. How long will we allow the violent path to be chosen instead? Read more here:

A “trust us” pinky promise from a company with a track record like Enbridge isn’t good enough for our Great Lakes. Demand Gov. Whitmer and EGLE conduct a comprehensive review of the proposed Great Lakes tunnel: https://www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/decision_watch

Lyla from Groundwork Center just published a fantastic OpEd in the Detroit Free Press taking a look at what's at stake with the upcoming decision from the Michigan Supreme Court on Enbridge's Line 5 tunnel. www.freep.com/story/opinio...

“This is a clear and pivotal win generated by the movement to shut down Line 5, and the tenacious defense of our Great Lakes exhibited by Attorney General Nessel."

We're in a clean energy world, and dirty fossil fuels have no place in it. Join us in contacting Gov. Whitmer to reject the Line 5 oil tunnel this Earth Day!

Enbridge and its dirty fossil fuels have no place in our Great Lakes - and Michiganders sure as hell shouldn't be on the hook for extending the lifespan of its aging Line 5 oil pipeline for another century.  Take action:

Toot toot... beep beep. #ShutDownLine5 #NoLine5OilTunnel

News: Could work on Enbridge’s Line 5 reroute come to a halt? Here’s what to know.

This does nothing to lower energy prices. It only gives more power to a Canadian corporation. michiganadvance.com/briefs/trump...

Join us in contacting the Wisconsin DNR asking them to deny Enbridge permits to do work at four stream crossings:

Two Wisconsin counties signed agreements to allow Enbridge to reimburse police presence during the Line 5 reroute construction. One county rejected it, but is discussing an amended agreement.  #ShutDownLine5  

For years, Enbridge resisted releasing key sections of its Geotechnical Baseline Report to state regulators on the proposed Line 5 oil tunnel project. Even the version now in the public record is redacted in critical areas. Read more: thecurrentowdm.substack.com/p/what-enbri...

BREAKING: A report from Enbridge submitted to Michigan regulators confirms what we've been suspecting - unsafe conditions, including weak bedrock, high water pressure and dangerous gases beneath the Straits where the company hopes to build an oil tunnel.

Step 1: Funnel money to police Step 2: Criminalize nonviolent protests  Step 3: Manufacture consent for aging fossil fuel pipelines #ShutDownLine5

Reminder: a natural gas explosion during construction of a tunnel under Lake Huron killed 17 workers. Engineering experts have testified that Enbridge's proposed Line 5 oil tunnel project also carries the risk of explosion. Let's not have history repeat itself. #ShutDownLine5

Construction on the Line 5 reroute project in Wisconsin has already started, despite the pleas from the Bad River Band and legal actions to stop it. We agree with the Band and the efforts to eliminate this threat to our Great Lakes. www.wpr.org/news/enbridg...

The Great Lakes hold 84 percent of North America's available, fresh surface water. Let's not take this treasure right in our backyards for granted. #ShutDownLine5
