Line 3 cuts through the heart of the Anishinaabe territory in Minnesota, violating treaty rights, damaging sacred wild rice beds, and threatening the health of our Indigenous communities. Indigenous leaders in Minnesota have led the movement against Line 3 to protect sacred land, water and our climate. The oil from Line 3 will add emissions equal to that from 50 coal plants every single year it is in operation. Climate change is a public health crisis. Line 3 poses a threat to public health by damaging our climate.
