St. Paul, MN -- This Wednesday afternoon, a group of carolers will gather at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) office to bring holiday cheer and a message to stop the Line 3 pipeline.
The agency dealt a setback to Enbridge’s controversial proposed tar sands pipeline in September by denying a key water crossing permit for the pipeline. Enbridge has since reapplied for the permit, and carolers will sing anti-Line 3 carols outside the MPCA office in St. Paul on Wednesday to urge them to protect Minnesota’s waterways by rejecting the permit once and for all.
WHAT: Holiday carolers to bring festive anti-Line 3 message to MN Pollution Control Agency
WHO: Local activists, joined by representatives from MN350 and the Sierra Club
WHEN: Wednesday, December 4, 2019, 3:30-4:30pm
WHERE: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency - 520 Lafayette Rd N, Saint Paul, MN
VISUALS: Dozens of carolers wearing festive clothing and snowman costumes; holiday decorations
