Greetings John, 

There is power in numbers. Recent polling shows that nearly 70% of Minnesotans favor permanently protecting the Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining, and chances are, you are one of those people. Today, you have the opportunity to show your commitment to safeguarding the Wilderness and protecting this prized boreal lakeland with a monthly gift of $10, plus your first month will be automatically DOUBLED if you give by tomorrow thanks to our friends at Enlightened Equipment.  

You may wonder if just $10 a month makes an impact in protecting the Boundary Waters, and the answer is that it DOES! Nearly a fourth of our annual budget is comprised of gifts of just $100 a year or less. We build our power for the Boundary Waters in numbers. Will you join us?

Monthly gifts to protect the Boundary Waters will enable us to:

• Ban all copper mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters.
• Pass a historic law protecting the Boundary Waters forever.
• Take your voice to decision makers in Washington D.C.
• Defend the Wilderness in important court battles

Every day the Boundary Waters is threatened locally and nationally. Until it receives permanent protections, its fate remains tenuous. While the federal administration has shown support in protecting the Wilderness for the first time in years, its protection is definitely not guaranteed.

Mining companies would love nothing more than for us to become complacent and assume the threat is over. We refuse to let that happen. 

You wouldn’t quit paddling in the middle of the lake, and you certainly wouldn’t turn around when you are nearing the end of a portage. Similarly, we will NOT stop working to protect the Boundary Waters until we have guaranteed permanent protection. We must strategically and tirelessly fight each day to do this. 

Don’t give toxic mining practices a foothold. Invest in protecting America’s most visited Wilderness today with a matched monthly gift starting at just $10.

For the Wilderness, 

Sam Chadwick
Associate Director
