Outdoors columnist Dennis Anderson penned an excellent piece about the 60th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act.
"Now it's 2024, and the issue is mining along the BWCAW's southern border, which opponents say — correctly — threatens the wilderness's clean water and pristine nature.
If the past is prologue on this 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, the fight will be a long one." Read the piece >> [[link removed]]

We’ve been working all week to defeat five reprehensible anti-Boundary Waters amendments that U.S. Rep. Stauber attempted to attach to a “must pass” bill that funds our military and defense programs.
However, thanks to your help and pushback this week, Rep. Stauber’s blatant political attack almost completely failed, and we were able to defeat FOUR of the FIVE amendments! Now, we need to make sure the Senate kills the remaining amendment as well as his bill H.R. 3195 that would rescind our hard fought for and won protections the Biden Administration issued last January.
