Dear NRDC Activist,

The investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald is leading the effort to raise
potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to fund the Pebble Mine
project threatening Alaska's pristine Bristol Bay — and [ [link removed]- ]they must be
stopped.

To kill this toxic mega-mine and save Bristol Bay, we must shut off the
investor money, and Cantor Fitzgerald is the lead underwriter — the
fundraiser-in-chief — for the small Canadian company Northern Dynasty
Minerals' efforts to fund the project.

[ [link removed]- ]Send an urgent message to Cantor Fitzgerald's CEO calling on him to
stop raising funds for the disastrous Pebble Mine.

The Pebble Mine is a proposed massive gold and copper mine that would dump
billions of tons of mining waste into the rivers, lakes, streams, and
wildlands of Bristol Bay, destroying the world-renowned salmon runs that
are a lifeline for the Yup'ik, Dena'ina, and Alutiiq Tribes and the $1.5
billion a year commercial fishing industry, and threatening the region's
pristine wilderness and abundant wildlife, including brown bears, whales,
and majestic bald eagles.

The overwhelming majority of people living in the region oppose the
mega-mine coming to their community, including the Tribes that have called
this land home for millennia, Native village corporations and
associations, business leaders, and commercial fishermen.

Here's what I know: Public pressure works.

So far, four of the largest mining companies in the world have walked away
from this reckless project after overwhelming public opposition from
Indigenous communities and NRDC activists like you: Mitsubishi
Corporation, Anglo American, Rio Tinto, and First Quantum Minerals. And
just this spring, Morgan Stanley — a major shareholder in Northern Dynasty
Minerals — reported the sale of over 99% of its shareholding in the
company.

[ [link removed]- ]Now Cantor Fitzgerald must do the same by halting its efforts to raise
money for Northern Dynasty Minerals to advance the Pebble Mine project.

This is the moment to act and convince Cantor Fitzgerald to re-think its
relationship with Northern Dynasty Minerals and its support for this
project. Northern Dynasty's CEO Tom Collier resigned in disgrace this
month after he was caught on tape bragging about manipulating elected
officials and revealing the company's scheme to expand the project beyond
what was described in its application to the Army Corps of Engineers and
to the public.

What's more, Cantor Fitzgerald claims it's committed to environmental and
social sustainability — yet the company's relationship with Northern
Dynasty and the Pebble Mine is directly at odds with those values.

[ [link removed]- ]Tell Cantor Fitzgerald to immediately cut ties with the Pebble Mine
project — and stand with the people and wildlife of Bristol Bay.

Here at NRDC, we're doing all we can to stop the Trump administration from
permitting the Pebble Mine while, at the same time, we are preparing right
now to go to court if and when a permit is issued.

We aren't giving up, but we need your help today — [ [link removed]- ]tell Cantor
Fitzgerald to stop funding the Pebble Mine now.

Thank you for all you continue to do to save Bristol Bay.

Warmly,
