Over the past 10 years, our small and mighty team has brought this issue to a national level and won a monumental 20-year mining ban earlier this year. Against all odds, your passion and persistence made this victory possible.
But our work protecting this special wilderness is far from over. The same mining companies that we just defeated still want access to the Boundary Waters. Politicians friendly to the industry have introduced legislation to reverse the 20-year ban and reinstate mining permits. And new threats like climate change are emerging.
We need to defend our victories, confront new challenges, and keep fighting for permanent protection. Some places are just too important - don’t allow the most toxic industry in the United States next to America’s most-visited Wilderness. Join us in saving the Boundary Waters.
We’re in this for the long haul, until we protect the Boundary Waters forever, for everyone – and we hope you are, too. That's why your gift today matters so much. Thanks to generous donors, contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $150,000! Renew your commitment with a 2X gift today.
