Dear John,

The Boundary Waters needs us now more than ever. As we prepare to take on the challenges of the incoming administration, we’ve launched the Boundary Waters Defense Fund – an innovative new fund dedicated to defending America’s most visited Wilderness.

This fund gives us the resources to respond swiftly and strategically to emerging threats in 2025 and beyond. We need to be ready for anything, and your support could tip the scales in our fight to protect this irreplaceable Wilderness.

Here is the best part: thanks to the Manitou Fund, every gift made to the Boundary Waters Defense Fund will be doubled until December 31. Plus, make it a sustaining gift, and your first two monthly gifts will be matched.

Your donation supports the legal, legislative, and scientific work that stands between the Boundary Waters and a copper-nickel mine in its headwaters.

Here’s what the Defense Fund makes possible:
* Legal Action: Fighting in court to uphold the protections the Boundary Waters deserve.
* Policy Advocacy: Ensuring decision-makers hear your voice and prioritize the Boundary Waters.
* Scientific Research: Strengthening the case for protection with undeniable water quality data and facts collected by our team.

This #GivingTuesday, make it count. Your monthly gift to the Boundary Waters Defense Fund will provide the steady, reliable resources needed to keep this Wilderness safe—not just today, but for generations to come.

Sustaining gifts allow us to:
* Act swiftly and strategically in the face of legal, political, and environmental challenges.
* Plan for the long-term defense of the Boundary Waters by funding ongoing grassroots, legislative, and advocacy efforts.
* Respond to emergencies like rollbacks of protections, mining proposals, and other urgent threats with the full force of our resources.

When you become a monthly donor, you’re joining a community dedicated to protecting the Boundary Waters forever.

With your support, we can meet these challenges head-on and ensure that the Boundary Waters remains a pristine landscape for future generations.
