Dear John,

I am writing to you from Washington D.C., where I am actively fighting for the protection of the Boundary Waters. Right now, I’m making my way through the halls of Congress heading to a meeting with one of our strongest allies, Rep. McCollum. 

The work we do to establish and maintain relationships with legislators, agencies, and administration offices is crucial for the long-term protection of the Boundary Waters. Not to mention, it’s key that we defend against the onslaught of attacks against the Boundary Waters in our nation’s capital. 

Our efforts have already led to a significant achievement last year: without our steadfast work over the past decade, we would never have achieved the mineral withdrawal which banned mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters for 20 years.

But 2024 will determine the future of the Boundary Waters: anti-Boundary Waters forces are doing everything possible to reverse the mining ban and reinstate permits to Antofagasta that were rightfully canceled in 2022. We need your help to protect this boreal Wilderness permanently and start the year out strong. Right now all donations will be DOUBLED up to $6,000 to defend this Wilderness.

The future of the Boundary Waters hangs in the balance. In 2024, critical decisions will shape its fate. That's why we need your support now more than ever. 

We are committed to ensuring that the Boundary Waters is a forever Wilderness, and we tirelessly advocate in D.C. to protect this Wilderness permanently. But we can’t do this without Wilderness Defenders like you on our side.

To kickstart the year on the right note, all donations made for the next 24 hours will be DOUBLED up to $6,000. Your contribution today will have twice the impact on protecting this unique landscape. Don’t wait - donate today to make twice the impact on the future of the Boundary Waters.

You are receiving this e-mail because you have supported the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters - a project of Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness.
