John,

Last Thursday, WCCO, Minnesota’s local CBS News station highlighted how Save the Boundary Waters built a movement over the past decade that brought Minnesota’s sulfide-ore copper mining threat to the national spotlight. You've played a vital role in this journey, and we're grateful for your support.

The two-part feature showcases the Campaign's progress over the past decade to safeguard the Boundary Waters from this kind of toxic mining, including our most significant achievement yet – the Public Land Order banning mining on federal lands and minerals in the Boundary Waters watershed for 20 years. 

It features the voices of Ely-area advocates, business owners, and community members who have been with us since the beginning - tirelessly fighting to keep toxic mining away from the fragile ecosystem of the Wilderness. 

While we celebrate our achievements, we remain focused on the work ahead. The threat of Twin Metals’ recently submitted request to undertake exploratory drilling on state land on the shores of Birch Lake looms. We'll continue to combat challenges like this with your continued support moving forward. 

As Board Member Steve Piragis aptly put it: "We still have a long way to go. I think that is what we think about more than what we’ve done, what we’ve accomplished." 

Thank you for being a part of this movement. Your contributions have been instrumental in creating a brighter future for the Boundary Waters.

Together, we can ensure that the Boundary Waters remains a cherished and protected Wilderness for generations to come.
