Governor Dayton: Stop Pipeline Expansion in Minnesota!

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has been outspoken in his commitment to ensuring a stable climate and accessible, clean drinking water for all Minnesota’s young people and future generations. But Enbridge’s proposed Line 3 oil pipeline “replacement” project is a direct assault on those values.

If approved, the Line 3 pipeline would:

  • Jeopardize the wild rice beds and pristine lakes of northern MN by opening up a new corridor of oil transportation;
  • Violate tribal rights guaranteed under the 1855 Treaty;
  • Abandon the existing pipe to crumble and pollute under private farmlands and reservations; and
  • Directly and significantly contribute to the runaway climate crisis.

Over 1.8 million barrels of oil are already transported across the state each day. For young people in Minnesota, the threat of catastrophic spills and increasingly dangerous impacts of climate chaos are personal and immediate.

Governor Dayton's legacy as a climate champion and a committed advocate for the future of our state rests on his vigilance against this proposed oil pipeline expansion.

Add your name today to demand Governor Dayton stand up to companies like Enbridge that are threatening treaty rights, clean water, and a livable climate, and publicly oppose Line 3.

Dear Governor Dayton,

You have been outspoken on your commitment to ensuring a stable climate and accessible, clean drinking water for all Minnesota’s young people and future generations.

Enbridge’s proposed Line 3 oil pipeline “replacement” project is a direct assault on those values.

If approved, it would:
- Jeopardize the wild rice beds and pristine lakes of northern MN by opening up a new corridor of oil transportation;
- Violate tribal rights guaranteed under the 1855 Treaty;
- Abandon the existing pipe to crumble and pollute under private farmlands and reservations; and
- Directly and significantly contribute to the runaway climate crisis.

Over 1.8 million barrels of oil are already transported across the state each day. For young people in Minnesota, the threat of catastrophic spills and increased climate chaos are personal and immediate. Your legacy as a climate champion and a committed advocate for the future of our state rests on your vigilance against this proposed oil pipeline expansion.

I urge you to stand up to companies like Enbridge that are threatening treaty rights, clean water, and a livable climate, and publicly oppose Line 3.
