I presented the Boundary Waters Permanent Protection bill today to the @MNYouthCouncil in a legislative hearing. These young people asked great questions & I left so inspired by their serious consideration of this bill & my separate bill with @CwodMN to elevate MYC's role in MN.
Hearing happening now on @BettyMcCollum04’s bill that would ban toxic sulfide-ore copper mining in the Boundary Waters. Another great step towards protecting U.S.' most visited wilderness area! #savethebwca mccollum.house.gov/about-betty/vo…

Buckle up! Twin Metals in today’s Senate hearing said they are willing to risk pollution to the Boundary Waters. Comparing the risk to driving a car without a seatbelt.
Today, Gov. Tim Walz’s Admin halted the Twin Metal mine plan. The MN DNR's decision comes after two federal mineral leases were canceled and concerns regarding its plan to store millions of tons of toxic tailings near the Wilderness. Read our statement: savetheboundarywaters.org/walz-administr…
In case you missed it: the Biden administration took a huge step toward permanently protecting the Boundary Waters wilderness from toxic mining. More on our blog: bit.ly/3ACbHDP
Thank you to my senator @SenTinaSmith !!
The Biden administration has made a persuasive case that the Trump administration improperly extended Twin Metal's leases, and I support the decision to cancel them.
BREAKING: The Biden Administration just announced that it has canceled the two Twin Metals leases for sulfide-ore copper mining next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, a huge and critical step for protecting America’s most popular Wilderness! Learn more: ctt.ec/9897x+

Our own Sam Chadwick, brings her 3 young kids snowshoeing and paddling in the BWCA. She spoke to how the U.S. Govt has long used this mining ban process to protect sensitive public lands, like Yellowstone & Methow Valley, protected under former President Trump & Sec. Ryan Zinke.
Take action today for the Boundary Waters Wilderness, and share this before tonight's deadline! @savethebwca

Northern Minnesota was picked for the @NatGeo's 25 most exciting destinations for 2022! Highlighted for being one of the largest dark-sky destinations on the planet. The Boundary Waters was officially named a Dark Sky Sanctuary last year! nationalgeographic.com/travel/article…
Thank you for your incredible support during Give to the Max Day! We were able to raise over $300k for the Boundary Waters thanks to 1,480 fellow Boundary Waters defenders. We placed 5TH on the Give to the Max Day Leaderboard for large MN nonprofit organizations - that’s huge! 🎉
If you've loved this city long enough you know that it doesn't love you back. But if you love this city hard enough, you'll see that the most vulnerable in our communities step up for one another. This isn't the end yall. We're all we got.
As we look at results across the city, we recognize that we have work to do to wrest power from those unwilling to share it. We have made incredible strides towards envisioning a future where Minneapolis is a safe place for all its residents. We continue that work joyfully.
Alright Minneapolis. We are about 2.5 hours away from polls closing and that’s still plenty of time to vote #YesOn2!!
