Dear John,
2021 has been a busy and important year for the fight for the Boundary Waters -- national momentum to finally protect this beloved Wilderness continues to build. The Biden Administration has taken the first steps towards initiating a 20-year sulfide-ore copper mining ban in the watershed of the Boundary Waters, and U.S. Representative Betty McCollum’s permanent protection bill is gaining support.

But we have one big problem: Twin Metals. This company, owned by Chilean mining conglomerate Antofagasta, still has the rights to two federal mineral leases in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters. Will you help make 2022 the year we kick Antofagasta out of this watershed once and for all?
We only have two more days to raise our critical year end funds.
John, we wouldn’t be where we are today without big supporters like you. You have given significantly because you believe the Boundary Waters is worth protecting. Thank you! 2022 is our moment to make sure the Boundary Waters is protected forever. As this year comes to an end, will you continue to invest in this incredible Wilderness for future generations to come? [[link removed]]

In addition to protecting the Boundary Waters from a foreign mining conglomerate with terrible environmental and human-rights records, we at the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters have a lot on our plate in 2022, including:
Continuing our legal battles on the state and federal levels,
Rallying massive public support during input meetings with Federal Agencies in January and during other comment periods throughout the year,
Promoting state and federal permanent protection legislation,
Working with Congress to pass the federal permanent protection bill,
Supporting Wilderness edge communities with our Boundary Waters Connect project,
…and much more!
