Yesterday Congressman Rick Nolan announced that he is asking the Trump Administration to reverse the two-year review of the Boundary Waters watershed and allow sulfide-ore copper mining without studying the risks to this world-class Wilderness. Today we joined about 100 concerned citizens for protest in front of Rep. Nolan’s office in Duluth.
Congressman Nolan’s outrageous demand that the Forest Service shut down its newly-initiated and important study is political posturing at its worst. This two-year study will inform citizens and agencies about the risk to the Boundary Waters if sulfide-ore copper mining were allowed near the Wilderness. Nolan’s rhetoric is anti-Boundary Waters, anti-science, and anti-citizen! Make sure he hears from you!
If you live in the 8th district let Rep. Nolan know that you disagree! Call his office (218) 464-5095 and voice your support for the 2 year study that the forest service is currently undertaking. Tell him to stop trying to derail this important scientific process.
If you live in Minnesota call your senators to voice your concerns about Nolans dangerous actions and ask them to do everything they can to counter Nolan’s anti-BWCA actions.
