Tell RBC to stop funding the Line 3 tar sands pipeline

Construction of Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline has begun, and we need to do everything in our power to stop it. With politicians failing to act, we need to ramp up pressure on banks that are financing and enabling the project.

If constructed, this pipeline would carry 760,000 barrels of tar sands oil from Canada every day through a three-foot-wide pipe, as big as Keystone XL – devastating our climate, threatening the Mississippi River, and violating treaty rights.

True to its claim as one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel funders, RBC has lent billions to Enbridge, without a regard for the devastating environmental impacts of its projects.

Email RBC executives and urge them to defund Line 3.

I am writing to ask that RBC respect Indigenous rights, protect our climate and revoke financing for Enbridge. Enbridge is building a tar sands pipeline through Anishinaabe land in Minnesota without the Free, Prior and Informed consent of the Indigenous people who have lived there since time immemorial.

If built, Enbridge's Line 3 would destroy the sacred wild rice beds that the Anishinaabe people depend on for their food, culture and way of life. Moreover, Line 3 would contribute as much damage to our climate as 50 new coal-fired power plants, and it would endanger more than 800 wetlands and 200 waterways.

In 2011, RBC pledged that its oil and gas clients must have “policies and processes consistent with the standard of free, prior and informed consent” with Indigenous peoples. This is your chance to stand behind your words and stop financing a project that directly violates Indigenous rights.

The Red Lake Nation, the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, and Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Minnesota’s Department of Commerce, environmental organizations, and 13 youth intervenors are all currently challenging the legality of Line 3 in court.

This resistance is only growing. In recent years, the climate movement has dramatically grown in power, with millions of young people taking to the streets around the world to demand rapid climate action. With Keystone XL canceled, stopping Line 3 is now the number one priority for climate activists across North America.

I strongly urge RBC to walk away from Line 3. For our climate. Out of respect for Indigenous rights and livelihoods. And because I know RBC wants to be known as a company supportive of reconciliation and as a climate leader.

In solidarity,
