The Strait Story: Enbridge Line 5 and Its Trespass on State Waters and Indigenous Lands
Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline is over 70 years old and remains a threat to the waters and people of the Great Lakes region. On July 19, FLOW and Oil & Water Don’t Mix presented a special live webinar, featuring a panel of experts about how Michigan, Wisconsin, and the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa are working together in the courts to shut down Line 5 and bring an end to Enbridge’s trespass on state, sovereign, and indigenous lands. We also talked about smart pipeline alternatives, how organizations are working to avert an oil spill disaster, and answered audience questions.
