St. Paul, MN -- Today, Washington Governor Jay Inslee joined the growing movement in Minnesota and across the country opposing Enbridge’s proposed Line 3 tar sands pipeline. If built, Line 3 would cross through critical ecological and cultural resources, threatening Minnesota’s land, clean water, Tribal sovereignty, and our climate.

In response, Sierra Club North Star Chapter Director Margaret Levin released the following statement:

“We’re glad to see Governor Inslee join the fight against Enbridge’s dangerous, unnecessary proposed tar sands pipeline. Line 3 would threaten our clean water, communities, and climate, all for the sake of more tar sands oil we do not need. We urge all of Minnesota’s own elected officials to stand with us in the fight for a clean, just energy future for all Minnesotans.”
