BREAKING! In the middle of night, when Trump's cronies hoped we were not watching, the U.S. House passed the bloated Reconciliation Bill. What does this mean for the Boundary Waters? Trump’s party crammed in a dangerous provision that would open hundreds of thousands of acres of protected land surrounding the Boundary Waters to copper-sulfide mining. What’s worse, this bill would also block any legal challenge to this giveaway. The bill now heads to the senate and unless we act, this will lay the groundwork for toxic copper-sulfide mining right outside the BWCA. Please take a moment to CONTACT YOUR SENATOR. Tell them to remove language from the Reconciliation Bill that would hand public lands in the Superior National Forest over to the Chilean mining conglomerate, Antofagasta. Remind them that this corrupt measure is a matter of policy, and has nothing to do with the budget. TO CALL: Find the phone number for your U.S. Senators by visiting our website, or complete the form to send a note. https://www.friends-bwca.org/get-involved/take-legislative-action/ The Boundary Waters needs you to act now! Trump is advancing the Project 2025 agenda and giving away America’s public lands to the lowest bidder. This is land that belongs to you, that belongs to me. It belongs to our families and our grandchildren. Together, we can stop them. Photo: Chris Brink (fb)
