BREAKING: 2 Water Protectors Lock Down Blocking Line 3 Worksite

On Friday morning, 2 water protectors locked to one other between barrels of concrete, halting construction at an Enbridge worksite as dozens more held space.

The site is a few miles south from a massive new Line 3 pump station through a wetland. Line 3 requires nearly the equivalent to all of Minnesota’s nuclear power to send its tar sands sludge through Minnesota’s rivers, wetlands, and wild rice water bodies on its way to Lake Superior.

The location is also near the proposed Line 3 crossing through the Mississippi Headwaters. Active preparation of that site and dozens of others continue across Anishinaabe treaty territory, as tribal lawsuits have yet to be heard.

Water Protector Jorge said, “Defend the land. Defend the water. Stop Line 3!”

Water Protector Lauren Berube said, “We need everyone doing everything and together we will stop Line 3.”
