Dear John,
We must protect the Boundary Waters wilderness from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining, and this is the year to do it. Luckily, today is your chance to make TRIPLE the impact to protect the Boundary Waters with a 3X matched gift for our March Match campaign. [[link removed]]
TRIPLE MY GIFT [[link removed]]
Clear-cut forest converted to industrial mining. Wetlands drained and filled. Waste piled above the treetops, visible for miles. Water and air pollution, light pollution, and the roar of industrial machinery, vehicles, blasting, crushing, and dumping - all on the very edge of and leaking into the Boundary Waters Wilderness.
This is only some of the destruction we can expect from sulfide-ore copper mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. We must prevent this from ever happening.
These types of conservation battles are very hard to win. We’re up against the monumental power and influence of the mining industry, but we have an opening this year to finally get it done.
This year is our best chance to pass federal law that permanently protects the Boundary Waters watershed from copper mining, and the next few months will be absolutely critical for this effort.
TRIPLE MY GIFT [[link removed]]
If we fail to act, we will miss out on a rare opportunity to protect public lands as valuable and beloved as the Boundary Waters, and cast into doubt whether or not this one-of-a-kind Wilderness will be protected for generations to come.
Don't let this opportunity slip through our fingers. Let's protect the Boundary Waters forever. [[link removed]]
For the Wilderness,

P.S. Tomorrow is the last day of our 2022 Triple March Match! We have seen such a fantastic response to this campaign, and we’re only $60,000 away from maximizing our triple match of $165,000 -- will you help us cross the finish line? [[link removed]]
