In Michigan, tribal leaders and environmental activists have been fighting for decades to stop Enbridge’s environmental destruction and shut down Line 5. We will not allow greedy polluters to continue to exploit our water for profit or endanger our Great Lakes.

From Turtle Island to Palestine, we stand ✊🏽
