Collage of Michigan scenes highlighting tourism and small businesses, including Gov. Whitmer wearing Shepler's Ferry gear during a site visit. Text: "Michigan's economy runs on clean water. Tourism and small business are the backbone. Don’t gamble them for the Line 5 oil tunnel."

A catastrophe during construction of the Line 5 oil tunnel is just one screw-up away from eliminating jobs in tourism, recreation and fishing, closing vital shipping routes, and contaminating the drinking water supply for 40 million people living in the United States and Canada.

Protesters, including a child on shoulders, hold a "HONOUR THE TREATY" banner, advocating for tribal sovereignty. Text on the image says "Respect Tribal sovereignty and science. Reject the Line 5 tunnel."

Step one: Honor the treaties. 
Step two: Follow science. 
Step three: Shut down Line 5.

“If there was a release of any oil, it would affect a lot of what we have in front of us here today, and more,” Robert Blanchard, tribal chairman of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. “I can’t overstate how the Kakagon Sloughs is an internationally recognized wetland with wild rice beds that no one else has, no other tribe, no other place has these beds. This is a unique location. And in my opinion, this permit does not go far enough to protect what is at risk,” Alice Thompson says.

Testimony continues this week in the administrative lawsuit against the Wisconsin DNR to reject the Enbridge Line 5 tunnel reroute scheme.

Excerpt of Phone Script to Call Gov. Whitmer 517-335-7858 Ext 5,2 My name is _____, and I’m calling today to urge Governor Whitmer to protect our water by directing the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to deny the permit for Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac. The Line 5 pipeline is an imminent threat, and building a tunnel to house it is no solution.

Rejecting the Line 5 oil tunnel would be a match point for our collective future. 📞 Call Governor Whitmer now and urge her to reject the Enbridge tunnel scheme! Let's prevent environmental hazards from sidelining our future.

Agreed!

Great Lakes have entered era of extreme temps, study finds - Bridge Michigan University of Michigan researchers have confirmed increasing cold snaps and heat waves on the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes are heating up - thanks to polluting fossil fuel emissions.

Opinion | Beneath the surface: Why Michigan must say no to the Line 5 tunnel - Bridge Michigan Enbridge’s case for the tunnel and keeping Line 5 running simply doesn’t hold water.

It’s time for Michigan to say no to the Line 5 tunnel — for the climate, for the Great Lakes, and for the generations who will inherit whatever decision we make today.
