Presented by Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities - 5pm - $5 tickets
An important event designed to educate and inspire your action to help stop the Line 5 oil tunnel.
Some of the leading voices in the movement to shut down Line 5 will offer a compelling, clear, and multi-layered picture of why the oil tunnel is a risky and false solution—and suggest ways you can take action to help shut down the freshwater apocalypse-in-waiting known as Line 5.
The event happens at a crucial moment in the arc of Line 5, with multiple court cases and permit reviews underway, and key decisions expected in coming months.
