Michigan Chapter Urges Action to Protect Lake Superior: The Threat of Copperwood Mine

This is going to sound familiar and that’s because in December of 2024 we were successful in stopping the Michigan legislature from approving a $50 million dollar grant to the Copperwood mine. We need you to do it again! The Michigan legislature is currently considering a $50 million earmark to Wakefield Township for infrastructure for the Copperwood mine. If passed, this funding would pave the way for the mine to move forward, putting Lake Superior and our public lands at even greater risk. But there is still time to act. We urge you to join us in raising your voice against this dangerous proposal.
