Support The New Bill To Protect The BWCA From Sulfide-ore Copper Mining

Representative Betty McCollum introduced her bill H.R. 5598 to protect the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park from sulfide-ore copper mining! Her bill would remove this threat permanently and establish the protections needed to keep these national treasures pristine for all generations to come.
