Water Protector Art Reception

  • Chequamegon Food Coop 700 Main Street West Ashland, WI, 54806 United States (map)

Come see Shea Schachameyer’s Water Protector Series, which seeks to tell the story of the threat posed by Enbridge Line 5 to our communities, lands and waters, and inspire action.

At 4:15 PM, Edith Leoso, elder and former Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Bad River Band, will share her perspective on Line 5.

In the Chequamegon Bay area, the Bad River Band has directed Enbridge to shut down and remove Line 5 from the Bad River Watershed. Instead of respecting the Band's sovereignty to protect their lands, waters, and culture, Enbridge has initiated the permitting process to construct a new section of pipeline around the Reservation, putting an even greater portion of the watershed at risk for an oil spill. While thousands of people have spoken up in opposition to this project, the Wisconsin DNR just approved the permits for the project, one of the final pieces needed by Enbridge to proceed. As such, now is the time to organize together to stop this project and protect Lake Superior.
