In Minnesota, progressive congresswomen of color have joined the fight against Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, demanding President Biden intervene to halt the project. If completed, Line 3 would carry more than 750,000 barrels of Canadian tar sands oil a day through Indigenous land and fragile ecosystems. Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar led a rally by the congressmembers known as “the Squad.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar: “They want to prioritize corporate profit over the lives of Indigenous women and the future of our planet. … Joe Biden promised to be the climate president. And this is his opportunity to follow through.”
