Chase Bank, Stop Funding #Line3 Tar Sands Pipeline! Community voices in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, spoke up to demand that Chase Bank stop funding the Line3 Pipeline. Per the Thomas Merton Center: Let’s tell Chase Bank to stop funding construction of the Line 3 tar sands pipeline across the treaty territory of the Anishinaabe people and the headwaters of the Mississippi River in northern Minnesota. We’ll be outside the Squirrel Hill branch with signs and leaflets to educate the public and demand that Chase Bank stop funding Line 3 before it’s too late.
If completed, Line 3 will transport almost one million barrels of dirty tar sands per day from Alberta, Canada to the shores of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
Construction is already happening right now, and will require draining five Billion gallons of water from wetlands throughout Northern Minnesota and drilling under multiple rivers, including twice under the Mississippi. The influx of out of state pipeline workers and “man camps” has also intensified the existing crisis of human trafficking, assault, and missing and murdered indigenous women along the construction route.
Chase Bank is heavily invested in this destruction, and will decide on July 22nd whether to renew their loans to the pipeline project.
Line 3 is a project of the Enbridge Corporation, a Canadian multinational responsible for the largest inland oil spill in the US. Enbridge was also one of the companies building the Dakota Access Pipeline, which involved sustained, coordinated violence and military counterinsurgency tactics against peaceful water protectors and indigenous people by national guard, law enforcement, and private security mercenary firms working on behalf of Enbridge and their partners.
Beyond damage to vast areas of wetlands and the Mississippi River, current construction and future oil spills also threaten the Manoomin wild rice that is sacred to the Anishinaabe people. Enbridge is trying to force their dangerous and unnecessary pipeline through indigenous territories while the Anishinaabe people organize a movement to protect the water and sacred rice through everything from lawsuits to resistance camps in the path of the pipeline itself.
Call Chase Bank today and ask them to #DefundLine3.
