From the event description:
Some of the leading voices in the movement to shut down Line 5 will offer a compelling, clear, and multi-layered picture of why the oil tunnel is a risky and false solution—and explain why we cannot afford to wait to shut down the existing dual pipelines. A Q/A session will give you a chance to ask your own questions.
Presenters will also suggest ways you can take action to help stop the proposed oil tunnel and, more broadly, help shut down the freshwater apocalypse-in-waiting known as Line 5.
This event happens at a crucial moment in the arc of Line 5, with multiple court cases and permit reviews underway, and key decisions expected in coming months.
Speakers include:
Dan Bock, Assistant Attorney General, State of Michigan
Brian O’Mara, Geological Engineer and 30-Year Tunnel Expert
Frank Ettawageshik, Executive Director of the United Tribes of Michigan
Denise Keele, Executive Director Michigan Climate Action Network
Sean McBrearty, Operations Director, Oil & Water Don’t Mix
Ashley Rudzinski, Climate & Environment Program Director, Groundwork
The full recording of the Tunnel Vision event is viewable online! Holly T. Bird’s remarks begin at 1:13:10.
