Oppose Sulfide Mining - Support our Endorsed Candidates

Friends of the boundary waters is asking for support in opposing US House Bill H.R. 3195.
Ask your Representative to oppose H.R. 3195 to ensure we keep sulfide mining out of the Boundary Waters!
H.R. 3195 would overturn a 20-year moratorium on all mining in the Boundary Waters watershed implemented by the Department of the Interior last year. Specifically, it would reinstate mineral rights and leases to companies like Twin Metals, which has proposed a sulfide copper mining project at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. H.R. 3195 would be a huge setback in our work to protect clean water and the Boundary Waters from dangerous sulfide copper mining in its watershed.
