Line 5 Public Comment Period Extended
August 01, 2024
Momentum has been building to shut down the aging Line 5 Pipeline that poses an immediate threat to the Great Lakes. In March, the documentary film Bad River premiered in theaters across the country, building awareness around the fight to shut down Line 5 and Enbridge’s trespass on Tribal land. The film is now available on demand.
On July 23, fourteen women gathered at the CSA Motherhouse to view Bad River together and were called to action. The Army Corps of Engineers will be making the decision as to whether or not Enbridge should be allowed to expand Line 5. A public comment period was scheduled to close on August 4, but has now been extended to August 30.
CSA members, Wisconsinites, and communities across the nation are standing strong to protect our water, our climate, the health of our neighbors, and future generations. You can join them by emailing your public comment by Aug. 30 to CEMVP-WiL5R-CDD-Comments@usace.army.mil or sign this online Sierra Club petition.
Additionally, write President Biden and ask him to revoke the presidential petition and shut down line 5.
For more information, this Wisconsin Examiner article provides an interesting perspective to the situation.
