Dear Friends,As Congress advances critical measures to rebuild and renew our nation’s neglected physical – and human – infrastructure, we continue to see examples of why the climate-focused Build Back Better agenda is so important.Line 3, a proposed pipeline expansion project through parts of Canada and the northern U.S., is an example of the type of harmful infrastructure that we’re working to put behind us.               The project is a 1,097-mile crude oil pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to Superior Wisconsin that was greenlit by the Trump Administration. In Minnesota, where the majority of the pipeline is being built in the U.S., Enbridge is actually expanding an existing pipeline to double its capacity for carrying tar sands crude oil. The proposed pipeline, which would be similar in size and capacity to Keystone XL, crosses hundreds miles of water, wetlands, and other sensitive ecosystems, and cuts across the territory of the Anishinaabe people.Understandably, it has drawn thousands of protesters, led by courageous Water Protectors seeking to defend the region’s water, habitats, and native peoples.Similar to the Keystone XL pipeline, Line 3 must be terminated.The project lacks adequate environmental review, fails to fully assess the damage it will incur, and disregards the tribal treaty rights which are inarguably implicated. I said the same thing about the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines in 2016.What we called for then, we are calling for now: these destructive projects must not move forward under our watch.That is why I have joined with my colleagues in demanding that the Army Corps of Engineers suspend the pipeline’s Clean Water Act permit and conduct a comprehensive review of its environmental and cultural impacts.I’m also urging the Biden administration to protect indigenous rights and engage with Tribal Nations on a government-to-government level.The federal government has a moral and legal responsibility to do better.These projects are built on decades of environmental injustice, and exacerbate our problems with climate. We must fight these blatant attacks on our communities, our environment, and our future.
