We’re sharing news about an important event designed to educate and inspire your action to help stop the Line 5 oil tunnel. We're calling this 1.5-hour evening gathering “Tunnel Vision: A masterclass in rejecting the Line 5 oil tunnel.” It’s happening April 24 in Traverse City, and if you’ve been wanting a better understanding of the Line 5 oil tunnel’s real risks and are looking for ways to engage to help stop it, you’ll want to attend.
Register here for in-person at Alluvion in Traverse City (seats going fast, so we recommend registering today).

Groundwork, Sierra Club, Progress Michigan, and Oil & Water Don't Mix have teamed up to present the event.
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.
The 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 state and nationally renowned experts will offer insight about the tunnel from multiple key perspectives: legal, policy, technical and cultural. Your involvement now is important, and speakers will have strategic advice for taking action.
Time, date, place: 5–6:30pm, April 24, 2024, Alluvion theater, in the Commongrounds building, 414 E Eighth St, Traverse City, MI 49686
