Call your senators!

In Jnauary, Rep. Pete Stauber introduced Joint Resolution 140, which would overturn the 20-year mining ban in the Boundary Waters watershed. Now, it's moved onto the Senate. This is critical. If passed, it would erase current protections, reopen the door to sulfide-ore copper mining near the Boundary Waters, and block future administrations from using the same safeguards. 

We don’t have time to waste. Contact your senators now:

SCRIPT:

My name is [Name] from [City], [STATE]. 

I’m calling to tell Senator [NAME] to vote NO on the Resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban and protect the Boundary Waters. 

The Boundary Waters is America’s most visited Wilderness, and a place I value and want to see protected. This resolution would open up the headwaters to toxic copper mining by a foreign company. 

Once again, I’m asking Senator [NAME] to stand up for public lands by protecting the Boundary Waters and vote NO on the Resolution to undo the 20-year mining ban.

Thank you.
