Dear John - 

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global movement that inspires people to give generously to transform their communities and support the causes that matter to them the most. We're asking people like you for immediate support to preserve America’s Wilderness - the Boundary Waters.

Our work together has never been more important than it is right now. The Boundary Waters continues to face dire threats from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining proposed next to the Wilderness. 

• Twin Metals, a subsidiary of Antofagasta, received the green light to conduct dangerous exploratory drilling near the Boundary Waters on Birch Lake. This is a preliminary step to advance a mine UNDER Birch Lake. This type of mining is especially dangerous and risks collapse and upstream contamination that would flow directly into the Boundary Waters’ pristine waters. 

• Despite our legal victory in September, Twin Metals is relentless in its pursuit to revive its toxic mine project and recently filed to reverse our legal victory. As the lead organization in the fight against Twin Metals, we fought tooth and nail to prevent the company from resurrecting its rejected sulfide-ore copper mine in the watershed of the Boundary Waters. 

• Right now, Representative Stauber and his friends in Congress are actively working to reverse the 20-year mining ban issued earlier this year and reinstate permits to Antofagasta that were rightfully canceled in 2022.

The Boundary Waters is an iconic national – and international – public lands treasure. And toxic mining has no place next to America's most visited Wilderness. That's why your gift today matters so much.

Did you know that almost 80% of the gifts we raised last year came from individuals giving $100 or less? This is proof that people fuel our movement and there is power in numbers - even a gift of $5 will significantly impact our favorite Wilderness. Can you make a gift today to protect the Boundary Waters?

P.S. Join us this global giving day, Giving Tuesday, by making a contribution to permanently protecting the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
