John, it's time to pull the plug on this terrible project. 

"Federal secrecy is a red flag on mining near the BWCA:" Star Tribune Editorial Board, May 2nd, 2020. 

“If the Trump administration won’t share vital data about copper mining’s risks to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA), Minnesota should halt all state-level work on the controversial Twin Metals Mining proposal. Gov. Tim Walz may be managing a pandemic, but other crucial decisions about the state’s future must also be made. Protecting this beloved, fragile natural preserve is one of them.”

"The federal secrecy continues to be a serious red flag. The Clean Water Act changes also suggest that the Trump administration is doing everything it can to coddle Twin Metals instead of protecting the BWCA. The only logical response is for the DNR and other state agencies with permitting responsibilities to suspend work on this risky mining project." [1]

During these challenging times, we need to continue to convince decision makers to stop this project. If you value the Boundary Waters, and the ongoing efforts of the Campaign to permanently protect it, then please consider making a donation today. Plus, when you contribute between May 1 and May 8, your gift will be doubled up to $30,000. 

P.S. Join us this afternoon, May 3rd, at 3:00 p.m. for a film screening of our new Boundary Waters documentary. Learn more and RSVP here.
