On November 13, Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced she was revoking the easement that gives Enbridge permission to operate Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac, where it crosses the Great Lakes. This is a huge win for the Oil & Water Don't Mix coalition and other organizations in Michigan, and thousands of people who have been working to get this pipeline shut down for over 7 years. 
In this episode, we have four leaders of the OWDM campaign to talk about this huge win - how it happened and what we need to do going forward - because it is not over yet. With us today we have Sean McBrearty, with Clean Water Action, who coordinates the OWDM Campaign; Liz Kirkwood, ED of FLOW - For Love of Water; Jim Lively with the Groundwork Center and the Great Lakes Business Network; and Mike Ripley, Environmental Coordinator with the Chippewa Ottawa Resource Authority (CORA).
For more background on Line 5, listen to Episode 3 with Bay Mills tribal president Bryan Newland, and Episode 6 with our interview with Larry Bell from Bell’s Brewery and Beth Wallace from Great Lakes Business Network in Episode 6.
