NRDC Activist,

The disastrous Pebble Mine project has been threatening to destroy
Alaska's spectacular Bristol Bay wilderness and upend the lives of the
region's Indigenous communities for more than two decades now.

And after years of pressure from area residents, thousands of NRDC
supporters like you, and our partners and allies in Alaska, the Army Corps
of Engineers rejected the toxic gold and copper mega-mine last November —
a very promising victory in the fight to save Alaska's Bristol Bay, but a
temporary one.

The mining company and its backers have already appealed the Army Corps'
decision and promised to fight tooth and nail to develop the mine.

We need a permanent solution — and the surest, most immediate way to
permanently put an end to the dangerous Pebble Mine is for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to veto the project now.

[ [link removed] ]Let's join together to pressure the EPA
to shut down this toxic mega-mine that would cause irreversible harm to
Bristol Bay, its wildlife, and the Indigenous communities who live there.
Take action now >>

If fully developed, the Pebble Mine would produce up to 10 billion tons of
mining waste that would threaten the region's world-renowned salmon runs,
abundant wildlife, and Indigenous communities.

The Yup'ik, Dena'ina, and Alutiiq Tribes have relied on the salmon fishery
for generations, and they have been forced to spend decades leading the
fight to shut down the Pebble Mine project so that it does not destroy
their home and their livelihoods.

President Biden's EPA can — and must — put an end to this madness once and
for all.

[ [link removed] ]Help us overwhelm the EPA with messages calling on the agency to veto
the Pebble Mine and put an end to countless more decades of fighting this
destructive project.

Time and time again NRDC activists like you have stood with NRDC and the
people of Bristol Bay in opposition to the Pebble Mine. We've campaigned
together for years to stop this disastrous mine — and we can't stop now.

Your support has meant the world to me. [ [link removed] ]I know with you by our side
again, we can shut down this devastating mine for good.

Thank you for all you do.

Warmly,
