Tomorrow, the Biden administration will unveil a new batch of executive orders on climate. Here's what we need to see:
Stopping Keystone XL and re-joining the Paris Climate Agreement were significant victories won by the climate movement. But there's another major tar sands pipeline underway – and President Biden has the power to halt construction immediately.
The Line 3 pipeline in northern Minnesota violates Indigenous rights and would carry the pollution equivalent of 50 coal power plants.1
Joe Biden can revoke the water permits granted by Trump, but it will take an enormous amount of public pressure. That's why Alexandria has joined with MN350, Honor the Earth, and dozens of other groups calling on Biden to stop Line 3.
Will you sign the national petition right now calling on President Biden to #StopLine3 immediately?
This will be a major climate test for President Biden, and if he means what he says about taking bold climate action, this project must be stopped.
Indigenous water protectors and allies in Minnesota have been fighting this project for years. But now the bulldozers have arrived to plow through sacred wild rice watersheds, over 800 wetlands, and 200+ bodies of water in Ojibwe treaty territory.
Each week, Indigenous water protectors are taking peaceful direct action to protect their land. But the drones are overhead and the police are militarized.
In order to get Biden's attention, we need thousands of signatures, but that's not all. As we saw with the fights against Keystone XL and Dakota Access, it will take deep organizing and all of us supporting the frontline resistance on the ground with supplies, bail money, online amplification, and more.
Every signature will be personally delivered to the Biden Administration, and we'll share our number of signatures with the press to show our momentum.
Thank you for speaking out.
