I just received the following email from my colleagues in the Will Dilg Isaak Walton League in Winona. If you value the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the importance of keeping her waters protected and unpolluted, please take a moment today (Sunday 1/18/26) or Monday (1/19/26) to reach out to your Congressional representatives and ask them to vote no on Joint Resolution 140. Time is of the essence. Please share with everyone you know.
Hello Will Dilg Ikes members and friends!
As our chapter's representative on the Conservation Committee of the Minnesota Izaak Walton League, I promised to pass on important legislative information to you when I learned about it. Well, we are in that moment. Calls are needed by the end of the day tomorrow! A vitally important vote to allow mining in the BWCA is set for as early as this Tuesday, Jan 20th. We need to weigh in NOW with our representatives!
If you listen to the metro media, you know Paul Douglas. Below is a link to a great letter he had published in today's Star Tribune, speaking to the need to stand up for the BWCAW, now, before it's too late. The vote may be taken They are attempting to rush this vote through. Paul Douglas: My eyes are wide open to Boundary Waters threats https://www.startribune.com/
Contact your elected federal officials today or tomorrow, and tell them rolling back protections and issuing mining permits in the headwaters of the BWCAW and Voyageurs National Park is going to lead to permanent pollution of these waters.
The easiest way to contact your congressperson is to go to this link - https://www.
Thanks for engaging on this issue! Anne Morse
