The Minnesota Department of Commerce just completed revisions on the Final Environmental Impact Statement -- but it's missing a key cultural resources survey, despite the fact that five Indigenous Nations have repeatedly asked for it to be included. Send your comment now urging the Commission to include the impacts to Indigenous communities and sacred sites, and reject the Line 3 pipeline. Thanks! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mysti Babineau & 350.org <350@350.org> Date: Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 1:42 PM Subject: Support Indigenous rights & #StopLine3 Friends, Right now, there are 3 major tar sands pipelines on the table that, if built, would send our climate past a tipping point. Keystone XL in the Midwest, Kinder Morgan in Western Canada, and Line 3 near my home in the Great Lakes would all bring tar sands from Alberta, Canada to market -- threatening Indigenous rights and burning more fossil fuels our climate can’t bear. The last opportunity to weigh in on the Line 3 pipeline just opened -- can you submit a comment to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission urging them to reject the project? The Commissioners need to know that the world is watching this decision. The more people who submit a comment, the more pressure we can generate. Comments will only be accepted for the next two weeks -- so we need to act now. The Minnesota Department of Commerce just completed revisions on the Final Environmental Impact Statement -- but it's missing a key cultural resources survey, despite the fact that five Indigenous Nations have repeatedly asked for it to be included. Send your comment now urging the Commission to include the impacts to Indigenous communities and sacred sites, and reject the Line 3 pipeline. Even without the results of this survey, the PUC has plenty of reasons to reject this pipeline. It's a catastrophe for Indigenous rights, clean water, and the climate, and it should not be built. This fight is bigger than just Line 3 -- it’s about stopping the fossil fuel industry and its dirty projects that harm our communities and our climate. We need a just and equitable transition to 100% renewables, and we need it now. This is the last opportunity for the public to weigh in on Line 3, prior to the PUC’s decision on the permits this June. Please add your voice and say 'no' to this dangerous pipeline.
