Thanks to the creativity and dedication of people from across the country, we’re about to break the record for the largest display of origami fish, each one a symbol of our shared commitment to protecting the Great Lakes and shutting down Line 5. 

Join us on July 12 as we attempt to break the world record for the largest display of origami fish — and you’ll want to see it with your own eyes. Imagine a display of over 30,000 paper fish, each one telling a story, carrying a pledge, and making it impossible for decision-makers to ignore the call: Shut Down Line 5.

This isn’t just an art installation. It’s a movement. It’s a splash of resistance. And it’s a celebration of the people who believe in a future where our water is safe, clean, and protected.

WHEN: Saturday, July 12 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

WHERE: Urban Ecology Center- Washington Park, 1859 N 40th Street in Milwaukee
