Boundary Waters Day at the Capitol

Capitol Building Rotunda, St. Paul, MN

Students carry signs at the capitol supporting the BWCA. Graphic in the shape of MN says Boundary Waters Day at the Capitol, Thursday January 23, 2025

Join us to rally for clean water at the Minnesota State Capitol and engage your legislators, along with others who care about the health of Minnesota’s greatest resource! Stand up for the Boundary Waters and make sure our elected leaders understand the grave importance of clean water.

Trump has made it clear that he plans to roll back BWCA protections and open the Superior National Forest up for copper-sulfide mining, and his allies in Congress have pushed though a bill that would open the area around the Boundary Waters to copper-sulfide mining. Whatever your party affiliation, the danger to the Boundary Waters is very real, and we hope you’ll take action!

We’ll help you set up meetings, and provide a training to talk to your elected officials. Just bring your own water bottle to use refill stations!
