This is the Mississippi River headwaters right now. Minnesota in a severe drought. Enbridge is taking 5 BILLION gallons of water from our rivers & lakes to drill Line 3 pipeline thru. […]

There’s a million reasons to defend the Mississippi: Her cultural significance, the fact she supports mifwestern wildlife, the fact we don’t want to lose a whole ass river… But if you can’t muster up enough to care about it for any of the regular reasons, consider the fact you will almost certainly starve. Please take the 5 minutes to send an email, I can’t do this on my own.

They took almost 5 billion gallons of water. They constantly fuck with the protestors. Wild rice isn’t just an economic thing for them, there is a deeply spiritual connection. Enbridge is awful, please help however you can, even if it’s just reblogging.
