Hey y'all, I don't normally make posts like this but this is really super important.

Also I know you're probably wondering why I put some of the tags that I did, but this, as I said, is really important and I have to get it to as many people as possible.

If you haven't already please, please, please sign the petition to stop line 3. They are going to turn the petition in to the white house next week, so they need as many names as they can get.

They have already, if I'm not mistaken, started pumping oil through the pipeline. If this isn't stopped it will make reversing climate change impossible.

Please read about it and sign the petition.

all of you preaching save the water, save the crops, save the earth etc yet where are you. adults that CAN protest, adults that CAN do things in this revolution but where are you?. once again leaving protecting earth to natives. it seems like unless outwards violence is involved no one actually wants to help, yet if we were violent none of you would step up either because then that’s where the racism will come in. we can never win if no one wants to help us. you won’t survive if we don’t help you. do some fucking work. we should be working as a collective, not individuals.

NOW IS THE TIME TO STOP PIPELINE 3

I haven’t seen any mention of this on tumblr yet and it breaks my heart. Tribal nations, community and environmental groups in Minnesota have fought for six years to stop Canadian oil giant Enbridge Energy from building the massive Line 3 pipeline in Northern Minnesota, to take oil from Canada’s tar sands region to Superior, Wisconsin.

Pipeline 3 will have the Co2 equivalent of 15 new coal-fired power plants. Please stand strong against the law-free oil pipeline, which seeks to keep us tethered to destructive fossil fuel practices at the expense of the land, the sacred, and the livability of the future.

The Obvious Threats:

-Oil spills

-habitat destruction

-harm to indigenous livelihood

-climate damage

Its carbon footprint would exceed the entire state of Minnesota’s and, like Keystone XL, would extend the economic viability of the ultra-polluting crude oil source in a way that one expert famously called “game over for the climate.” All pipelines spill. It's a question of when not if.

Line 3 violates treaty rights by endangering critical cultural resources like sacred wild rice. Line 3 will cross 227 bodies of water including the Mississippi river twice and multiple state parks and national forests.

Pipeline construction also means bringing thousands of out-of-state workers into rural communities. These settlements are called man camps and they lead to missing and murdered indigenous women. Pipelines directly correlates to violence against indigenous women, girls, and relatives. Native women are murdered at 10 times the national rate; 1 out 2 Native women will be raped in her lifetime(based on REPORTED statistics), and 3 out of 5 physically assaulted. Even worse, 96% of the perpetrators are non-native and cannot be prosecuted by tribal governments. approving this landline it's literally inviting violence into Indigenous spaces.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

- take the pledge of resistance

- donate directly to the front lines

- donate to Honor the Earth

- write to Biden to stop Line 3

- follow and listen to indigenous leadership
