In the early morning hours on Monday, Oct 12, we destroyed a horizontal directional drill (HDD) that Enbridge had been using to build its reroute of the Line 5 pipeline on Anishinaabe land in northern Wisconsin. We painted a message — Water is Life — before dissapearing into the night.

In love and solidarity with all those fighting for the land, water, and future generations, we join the chorus of voices saying no more desecration of the sacred, no more pipelines on stolen land. Fuck Enbridge. Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Hold each other close in the face of evil. Never give up the fight. xoxo
