HJ Res. passes the Senate

Update - April 16: The Senate passed H.J. Res. 140, a devastating bill that unravels protections for the Boundary Waters watershed, and it now heads to the President’s desk. This harmful resolution strips away critical, science-based, broadly popular protections from the headwaters of the Boundary Waters, opening its fragile waterways to copper mining and putting these pristine waters at permanent risk.

Minnesota can—and must—be the backstop against these unprecedented attacks on the Wilderness. Learn more here and contact your state elected officials.
