BWCA Protection with Senator Tina Smith

Virtual - Zoom meeting

May 28, 2025, 12pm

The Boundary Waters faces one of its greatest threats in decades. Hidden in the latest reconciliation bill is a dangerous provision that would hand hundreds of thousands of acres near the BWCA to toxic copper-sulfide mining companies—while blocking any legal challenges.

This reckless giveaway threatens to bring industrial mining right to the doorstep of America’s most pristine wilderness, risking irreversible damage to our clean water and wild places.

Senator Tina Smith is fighting back with legislation to stop this attack on our public lands. Join her for a critical conversation about what’s at stake and how we can defend the Boundary Waters together.

This is our moment to stand up for clean water, wilderness, and the future of Minnesota’s crown jewel. Your voice matters—be part of the solution.
