For the air we breathe, for the water we drink, for the places we call home, we must Stop Line 3.

We are are a group of Line 3 defendants in Chicago who need your support to cover our legal expenses! We've pooled some of our personal funds and are hoping to raise the rest through this fundraiser.

We appreciate any support, which will go directly towards covering our legal expenses. Any funds over our goal will go to Center for Protest Law & Litigation's Line 3 Legal Support Fund.

For over five years, the Indigenous women-led resistance has been fighting to stop the Line 3 tar sands pipeline, which will bring the dirtiest fossil fuel on the planet through the territory of the Anishnaabe people in northern Minnesota and down to refineries in the Chicago area. Enbridge, the pipeline company building Line 3, has had over 800 spills in the last 15 years, including the largest inland oil spill in U.S. history.

Line 3 directly violates Indigenous sovereignty and treaty rights, preventing Anishnaabe communities from exercising guaranteed rights to hunt, fish and engage in cultural practices.

Minnesota police - with their bill footed by the Enbridge Corporation - have arrested over 800 water protectors in an attempt to repress the movement. And yet the movement continues...

So much love and solidarity to anyone that can support us, share our fundraiser and show up in any way for the movement to #StopLine3!
