Mackinac Bridge shrouded in Canadian Wildfire Smoke

Tell EGLE and Whitmer to deny the wastewater permit for the Line 5 oil tunnel.

As wildfire smoke from climate change covered Michigan, EGLE reissued the tunnel's wetlands and bottomlands permits, brushing aside more than 70,000 public comments opposing this project. One EGLE decision is still pending: the NPDES permit to dump construction wastewater into Lake Michigan. Tell Director Roos to deny it, and tell Governor Whitmer to keep her promise and shut down Line 5.

National Actions

Tell Congress: Protect the Toxic Substances Control Act from the Chemical Lobby!

The chemical industry is lobbying hard to undermine the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) protections, which bans harmful chemicals and upholds the right of states to implement laws stronger than the federal government. Your representatives in Congress need to hear from you — this law is working and it should not be weakened.

Tell Congress: Don't Reverse Environmental And Health Safeguards!

Critical environmental and health protections are at risk. The U.S. Congress could reverse or weaken safeguards and slash federal budgets needed to implement laws meant to reduce water and air pollution and protect people’s health. These rollbacks would open doors for polluters, not protect our communities. ACT NOW: Tell your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators to protect people, not polluters!

State Actions

Crowd at watch party for MI Supreme Court argument against the Line 5 oil pipeline

The MI Supreme Court has spoken: Tell Governor Whitmer to withdraw support for the Line 5 oil tunnel

The Michigan Supreme Court found the proposed Line 5 tunnel has no state siting approval required under federal law, and that Michigan Public Service Commission regulators can no longer ignore the public trust doctrine when a project like this puts the Great Lakes at risk. Ask Governor Whitmer to withdraw administration's support for the tunnel and to support Michigan's citizens and Tribal Nations by recommitting to shutting down Line 5 for good.
