People Over Pipelinez MN

Follow our fight in Northern Minnesota as we stand up to Enbridges' proposed 6I0 mile Sandpiper oil pipeline. This pipeline proposes to cross private property, this includes home owners with carefully tended Organic Farmland, wetlands, trout streams, and camp grounds. If built, the sandpiper would tear communities, families, and livelihoods apart. As many of us are all too aware, this is happening all over the world where citizens of the land have had little say. United, we DO have a voice. Time to take back democracy and stand up for our neighbors, those to sick to fight, and the millions of species that don't have a voice in our government. Right now, as people who have inherhited this earth, we need to fight for the protection of our ecosystems and communities. For ourselves, the birds and the bees, and all future generations of life.

Should someone have the right to lower their neighbor’s property values, expose their children to lung diseases, dry up wells, chase away tourists, wreck the roads we use and poison the water we all drink? Is this not a classic example of corporations passing on their costs to the public?

Donovan Hommen (a retired Lutheran pastor) quoted in “Morality also in play when it comes to fracking” : Houston County News (via mnenvironmentalillnessnetwork)

Talk about it. Protect our future.

Oil Companies should NOT be able to build on private property, property that many home owners spent their lives nurturing and raising families upon. We are supporting the Carlton County Land Stewards as they band together to figure out whats really going on in Enbridge's not so transparent legal process. Who is with us?

A Call To action

We need your help, your voice, your ideas, and resources. To stand in solidarity together. Enbridge has filed their certificate of need to the Public Utilities Commission. If approved, the PUC would allow Enbridge to condemn all private property regardless of the landowners, wetlands, or animals living on it. This is done through eminent domain; the PUC would declare the oil pipeline infrastructure is in the public good. Enbridge would state it's necessary while the land owners have to sit back and watch them tear up their land, disturbing soil, enclosing communities and memories, cutting down trees, and going against all they stand for. THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN FARMS. We have to look at this as systematic thinking. When a spill occurs, it effects all the connected waterways, habitats, and people for miles upon miles. Just look at the Kalamazoo spill. The Certificate of need was filed November 8th, 20I3, we have a 60 day public commentary period, we will be writing letters to the PUC (in Minneapolis) opposing the Sandpiper proposed route. 

Please join in, send us your own experience fighting pipelines, spread the message, reblog our stories and pictures. We are all in this together. Let's take back our rights and stand up for the future we desire.
