However, despite these positive developments, we are still up against some serious attacks on the Boundary Waters from anti-wilderness proponents in Congress who are seeking to revoke the current 20-year ban on sulfide-ore copper mining next to the BWCA. This is why we urgently need your continued support to keep fighting for this special place.
Right now is an excellent time to make a commitment to the Boundary Waters. One of our long-time advocates has generously pledged $60,000 to match gifts in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act – a crucial piece of legislation that established the National Wilderness Preservation System, including the Boundary Waters. This means that every dollar you contribute will be automatically doubled, making your gift go twice as far for the BWCA!
Can we count on you to make a 2X gift today? Your contribution will help us continue our important wilderness advocacy work in our nation’s capital, which will in turn help us make the Boundary Waters a forever wilderness by protecting this beloved landscape for generations to come.
