This pipeline is already moving oil dangerously through northern Wisconsin every day in illegal trespass, violating the Bad River Band's sovereignty, and the pipeline company is trying to expand the pipeline and operate it for years to come, putting the nearby water, plants, animals and communities at risk of an oil spill. Construction of a reroute threatens major damages in itself, and would extend the risk to the Great Lakes for decades.

This year alone we have engaged hundreds of advocates as part of our Fish for the Future campaign to break the world record for largest display of origami fish - that’s meant new groups educated about Line 5, press coverage and celebratory events to put a positive spin on this important work. 

We need resources to continue this work! Please consider donating to help us reach our $600 fundraising goal. 

As you may know, earlier this year the Tar Sands Team and our partners broke a world record with the largest-ever display of origami fish — a powerful, visual call to shut down Line 5 that echoed across the country. As a special thank-you, all donors who contribute $20 or more will receive a string of origami fish from the actual display — a one-of-a-kind piece of this inspiring movement.
