Bus: Minneapolis to Bemidji Pipeline Mtg

Description

On March 7th, the U.S. State Department will hold the only public meeting in the country on a proposed international tar sands pipeline expansion which would increase the flow of the world's dirtiest oil across the Mississippi River and through the tribal territory and wild rice beds of northern Minnesota.

In addition, community members are holding an event before the public meeting to showcase resistance and local low-carbon solutions. This will be a powerful day to show up for.

MN350 is running a bus from Minneapolis to Bemidji for this public meeting and the event beforehand. Ticket prices are FLEXIBLE -- PAY WHAT YOU CAN between $10-$60; no scholarship application needed. Here are the details:

Departure point: East Phillips Park, 2307 17th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404

DEPARTING MINNEAPOLIS: 8am
ARRIVING BEMIDJI: 12:30pm
LEAVING BEMIDJI: 8pm
RETURNING TO MINNEAPOLIS: Midnight

All ticket prices are purchasing exactly the same trip -- please pay what you can. We want this trip to be accessible to everybody who wishes to come, which is why there are different price levels. The actual cost of the trip to us is about $40/rider, but please select the option that you are most comfortable paying.

This trip will be in a comfortable coach bus and will not involve any overnights.

If you can't come on the trip, please consider sponsoring a rider -- generous supporters make this pay-what-you-can bus open and accessible to all!

President Trump's State Department is trying to expand the flow of tar sands across our borders with as little public involvement as possible, so it's important that we show up and pack the room and let them know why this project is a disaster in the making for Minnesota, our climate, and our water.

Join us in Bemidji!
