NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP PIPELINE 3

NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP PIPELINE 3

I haven’t seen any mention of this on tumblr yet and it breaks my heart. Tribal nations, community and environmental groups in Minnesota have fought for six years to stop Canadian oil giant Enbridge Energy from building the massive Line 3 pipeline in Northern Minnesota, to take oil from Canada’s tar sands region to Superior, Wisconsin.

Pipeline 3 will have the Co2 equivalent of 15 new coal-fired power plants. Please stand strong against the law-free oil pipeline, which seeks to keep us tethered to destructive fossil fuel practices at the expense of the land, the sacred, and the livability of the future.

The Obvious Threats:

-Oil spills

-habitat destruction

-harm to indigenous livelihood

-climate damage

Its carbon footprint would exceed the entire state of Minnesota’s and, like Keystone XL, would extend the economic viability of the ultra-polluting crude oil source in a way that one expert famously called “game over for the climate.”   All pipelines spill. It’s a question of when not if.

Line 3 violates treaty rights by endangering critical cultural resources like sacred wild rice. Line 3 will cross 227 bodies of water including the Mississippi river twice and multiple state parks and national forests.

NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP PIPELINE 3

Pipeline construction also means bringing thousands of out-of-state workers into rural communities. These settlements are called man camps and they lead to missing and murdered indigenous women. Pipelines directly correlates to violence against indigenous women, girls, and relatives. Native women are murdered at 10 times the national rate; 1 out 2 Native women will be raped in her lifetime(based on REPORTED statistics), and 3 out of 5 physically assaulted. Even worse, 96% of the perpetrators are non-native and cannot be prosecuted by tribal governments. approving this landline it’s literally inviting violence into Indigenous spaces.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

- take the pledge of resistance 

- donate directly to the front lines

- donate to Honor the Earth

- write to Biden to stop Line 3

- follow and listen to indigenous leadership

I really want to boost this indie game called Venba that is currently in development at Visai Games.

It’s a narrative game about cooking, where you play as an Indian mom who has moved to Canada in the 1980s. Your recipe book is damaged, so you’ll have to restore those lost recipes, while also having branching conversations with your family, and of course, cooking Indian food.

There’s a Steam page for the game up here, and here’s the developers’ Twitter.

This is the sort of game that can easily fly under the radar, so please help boost an original game with a unique premise!

LINE 3

PLEASE READ THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

The line is now 90 percent completed. If Enbridge has their way, Tar Sands, one of the most toxic types of oil there is, will be flowing through that pipe within the next week or so. There have been dozens of frack outs already and having oil flow through the line is only going to cause more.

As I said in my last post, Biden is being pressured by other members of his party to put a stop to this, but he still has not made any moves to stop it.

All permits that Enbridge originally held have now been revoked, meaning that not only are they illegally on Anishinaabe treaty land, but they are also operating illegally, since they have no permits.

Just a reminder that none of the oil flowing through this pipeline will even be in use in the US or Canada. All of it will be shipped off for use in China.

What they are doing is highly illegal, will cause extreme destruction to our environment, will make it nearly impossible to fight the climate crisis, and will strip natives of their constitutional rights.

Enbridge is paying off cops to keep their mouths shut and keep Water Protectors from protecting the land. Water Protectors have been brutalized, had their peaceful prayers shut down, arrested illegally, and there is a huge human trafficking operation that has been going down since before this even started.

If you can make it to DC or Minnesota, get there as soon as you possibly can. @tblubear and @quiiroi on tik tok have tons of info on how to get to the front lines.

@quiiroi also has a bunch of info on how to organize a protest in your own city if you can't make it out.

Don't forget to text "PUCZGE" to 50409 or dm it to resistbot on twitter and get in contact with your reps.

tinyurl.com/Line3Dashboard has tons of info on ways you can help.

Get everyone you know to sign the petitions at both stopline3.org and lakotalaw.org

Just to clarify one more time, Enbridge is a Canadian company who is paying off American cops and illegally building a pipeline on Native American treaty land, and all of the oil will be shipped off for consumption in China.

We cannot let Enbridge continue to think that they are above the law. DO SOMETHING
