Dear John,

Representative Pete Stauber and his cronies hope to undo the protections we’ve begun to win to defend the Boundary Waters forever. Today, Rep. Stauber held an anti-Boundary Waters press conference at the Minnesota Capitol to respond to U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s St. Paul visit.

Rep Stauber attacked the Biden administration for taking science-based action to protect America's most visited Wilderness from the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining, and he railed against Secretary Haaland for canceling Twin Metals’ mining leases.

A vast collection of peer-reviewed science shows that if a Twin Metals mine were built along the rivers and streams flowing into the Wilderness, pollution and environmental degradation would be certain.

Nearly seventy percent of Minnesotans want the Boundary Waters protected from sulfide-ore copper mining, including over half of Pete Stauber's district. A Twin Metals mine would forever pollute the clean water and pristine Wilderness of the Boundary Waters, destroying thousands of jobs and ruining countless small businesses.

There are powerful forces we’re up against in our efforts to protect the Boundary Waters, and we need your help to push back. We have to keep fighting against the ongoing threats from anti-Boundary Waters lawmakers that don’t serve the interests of their own constituents or the future of our Wilderness. 

Your financial support makes this work possible. Please rush a gift today, so that we can ensure permanent protection for future generations.

For the Wilderness,

Ingrid Lyons
