There will be 3 buses from Wisconsin to the Gich-gami Gathering to Stop Line 3. Bus tickets are $10 each. If you cannot afford the $10 ticket, sponsored tickets are available for $1. Please contact our office with any questions or concerns.
Stops include: Ashland, Beloit, Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, and Stevens Point. With enough interest, other stops could include: Janesville, Marshfield, Wausau or Whitewater. (If you’d like to see one of the stops, sign up and get 5 of your friends to join!) Carpools will be arranged from other cities as well. Sign up for a carpool here.
AND, from MN350:
In just over a week, we’ll gather on the shores of Gichi-gami -- also known as Lake Superior -- to say no to the Line 3 tar sands pipeline and YES to a cleaner and more just future. I can hardly wait.
This event is a big deal. In June, a court put the pipeline on hold because the spill risks to Lake Superior were never even studied. We’re going to Gichi-gami together to say enough is enough: kill this project, put a foot down, protect what we have and what we love.
We know that the risks of a tar sands spill, or the certainty of climate warming brought on by burning this oil, or the continued erasure of indigenous treaty rights already give more than enough reasons why this pipeline must never be built.
