trump decimated the environmental protections in -place for this area in 2016. trump literally swept the environmental studies under the rug and tried to fast track this project. If it's so safe to mine for copper in the BWCA watershed, pass #proveItFirst.

A step forward for clean water at the MN DFL convention this weekend. The DFL platform now calls for legislative hearings on copper-nickel mining, the first in 14 years.
But for too long, the party has appeased mining interests at the expense of clean water. #ProveItFirst

We’re here in Duluth at the #DFL convention, and we’re committed to Clean Water. So are a majority of Minnesotans.
Get it right #DFL2024! #ProveItFirst @SenateDFL

“@JenMcEwenMN, a co-author of the Senate bill, said the Legislature has not heard a bill regarding copper-sulfide mining in at least a decade, which she called ‘legislative malpractice.’” #mnleg #ProveItFirst

The #MNLeg session begins in February. It's the best chance in years to pass meaningful legislation to protect the #BWCA and @LakeSuperior for future generations. But we need your voices!
Tell legislators that passing #ProveItFirst this session is a must!
