Hi! We're a volunteer-led grassroots group that engages in organizing with a focus on shutting down the Enbridge Mainline system – the largest conduit of tar sands oil in North America – and making it so pipelines that worsen climate change or violate Indigenous treaties are not built.

Over 50 people showed up last week to hear an update on the damage to the Line 3 corridor in MN from drone pilot Bee Kakac!
We need our state agencies to do better -- not only in monitoring and holding Enbridge accountable for damage, but preventing it by not allowing pipelines through our waters.
