Dear John,

We just got done with a news conference on the steps of Duluth City Hall in northern Minnesota. Speakers from across the region expressed support for Rep. McCollum's Boundary Waters protection bill which will be debated this afternoon in committee of the U.S. House of Representatives!

We’re going toe-to-toe with foreign mining conglomerate pawn Representative Pete Stauber and we need your help. Donate before Midnight on Wednesday and your contribution will be matched, up to our $15,000 goal.

Protecting the Boundary Waters is vital for the region's sustainable businesses and all the people who live here. 

Copper mining boosters will try to tell you otherwise - but nearly 70% of Minnesotans support permanently protecting the Boundary Waters from the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining.

Tune in at 1p CT to watch an impressive lineup of supporters testify in Congress as they ask our elected officials to ban copper mining in this wild and beautiful place.

We have no time to lose. Rush your gift today to double your impact and protect the Boundary Waters from anti-Wilderness corporate interests. 

For the Boundary Waters,

Ingrid Lyons

Executive Director

Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters

“Antofagasta arrogantly decided it could bully its way to an operating mine in an area that could reasonably be considered the worst place in the United States, sacrificing our nation’s most visited wilderness, clean water, and the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people.” 

-Save the Boundary Waters National Campaign Chair Becky Rom, in a commentary for the MN Reformer May 23, 2022

P.S. In less than one hour, debate on the Boundary Waters will begin in the U.S. House of Representatives. Want to see this permanent protection bill become law? Donate in the next 48 hours and your contribution will be matched!
