Dear neighbors,
This Friday, Sept. 24 is Global Climate Strike Day.
STOP LINE 3 OIL PIPELINE march and rally in BURLINGTON
Please join us on Friday, Sept. 24 for a March @ 3:15 at City Hall Park, Burlington. Rally @ 5:00 at Battery Park Burlington with speakers including Bill McKibben and frontline activists, food from People's Kitchen, musicians, DJ and more.
LINE 3 is an oil pipeline, built to carry the most corrosive and carbon-intensive tar sands fossil fuel. Enbridge --the Canadian corporation that owns Vermont Gas and Green Mountain Power -- is running these pipes through Minnesota, crossing the Mississippi, many other bodies of water and wetlands, and indigenous land in violation of Native American treaties.

Sponsors include: 350VT; Essex Resists; Extinction Rebellion VT; Climate Justice Team of First UU Society of Burlington; Institute for Social Ecology; People's Kitchen; Upper Valley Affinity Group; VT Interfaith Power & Light
Watch the weather, come prepared with rain gear if needed. If it looks like rain, bring a pop-up tent to Battery Park if you have one. And of course, when not able to social distance, please wear a mask.

"With the Dakota Access pipeline's permit under reconsideration and the Keystone XL pipeline canceled, LINE 3 is a last gasp at keeping the filthy tar sands industry alive. The science isn't debatable: To counter mounting climate catastrophes, and to hold global warming to the Paris accords' limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) tar sands must stay in the ground."
