In the aftermath of last Friday’s devastating ruling from the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to grant the permits for a Line 5 tunnel, we’re happy to present this interview with Bill Latka, co-founder of the Oil and Water Don't Mix campaign. Bill is an amazing storyteller, filmmaker, and climate change activist who has been on the front lines of the effort to shut down Line 5 for years. State of Water host Seth Bernard sat down with Bill this past weekend for an in-depth conversation on his initial reactions to the MPSC decision, what’s next as far as Shut Down Line 5 strategizing, the importance of creativity and imagination in organizing work, how the Oil & Water Don’t Mix coalition has been so effective at building a broad community of support, and how folks can get involved in this movement as this essential work continues - advocating to keep oil out of the Great Lakes and inspiring a transition to a clean energy future.
