Threat to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Minnesota
On February 6, four direct descendants of President Theodore Roosevelt wrote to United States senators to ask them to vote against a measure that opens up the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in Minnesota to the Chilean mining giant Antofagasta Plc and its subsidiary Twin Metals Minnesota. Antofagasta wants to build a copper-nickel mine just outside the BWCAW on national forest land.
They “strongly” asked senators of both parties to “vote no on a resolution and any other similar legislation that would allow mining in the BWCAW.” Theodore Roosevelt IV, Tweed Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt III, and Mark Roosevelt concluded their message: “The four of us…have never collectively co-signed a letter together, which should give an indication of how strongly we support voting no on this resolution—and then voting yes on permanent Boundary Waters protection.”
Please call and advise your senators and congressmen to vote against this measure. You can use the Five Calls App to make this easier.
