Help Us Build Yurts to Stop Line 3
Donation protected
Line 3 is currently under construction across the state of Minnesota. It is an egregious assault on Indigenous sovereignty, treaty rights, and the life systems of our planet. We need your help to support indigenous-led water protectors bravely and beautifully putting their lives on the line to stop the pipeline!
How? Support us to build yurts!
There is a real need to have more infrastructure at the resistance camps. More and more people are coming to support and having yurts will increase capacity to host water protectors from near and far.
We need to raise 10,000 dollars to build two large yurts (25 foot and 17 foot diameter) including their own mobile platforms. All the money will go to materials and transportation expenses.
We are a group of craftspeople and allies in the northeast, partnering with a local yurt company (Two Girls Yurts) to build high quality, four season yurts that will be in service for decades.
We have a team ready to build full time until they are completed and drive the yurts and platforms out to Anishinaabe lands in early-mid April.
We are staying responsive to the on-the-ground needs of those at the resistance camps. If we are not able to raise the full amount by March 19th or if other needs become more pressing, 100% of the money raised will go directly to indigenous-led resistance for Line 3.

More info on Line 3:
Line 3 is a pipeline project by the multinational, Canadian based Enbridge corporation. If it goes to completion, it will carry 760,000 barrels of tar sands oil from the vast open pit excavation mines in Alberta Canada to be refined in Superior, Wisconsin Every Single Day. This sounds like an enormous amount of oil--because it is. Tar sands oil is exceptionally polluting and energy intensive in the refinement process. The CO2 released from line 3 alone is roughly that of 50 new coal fired power plants.
The proposed route crosses the Mississippi river twice and 190 bodies of water, including 40 wild rice lakes which are culturally central and sacred to Anishinaabe people. This is a real threat to these fragile ecosystems; in fact, that the largest inland oil spill in U.S. history--1.7 million gallons of oil-- occurred in this region in Minnesota under Enbridge management.
