Help us stop environmental disasters like Pebble Mine: Donate $5 each month to Friends of the Earth Action. Right now, the Trump Administration is fast-tracking a mining project that threatens the world’s top hotspot for wild salmon. Indigenous communities and fisherpeople in Alaska’s Bristol Bay have long opposed the Pebble Mine project. It would poison the pristine ecosystem with lead, arsenic and other toxins -- wiping out some of the world’s last remaining wild salmon. But now, while the public’s attention is on the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the many terrible projects the Trump Administration is trying to sneak through is Pebble Mine’s permit. We’ve been fighting alongside the local community to block the project for years (I was born and raised in Bristol Bay!), and now we need your sustained support to ramp up the campaign for long fights ahead. Don't let the Trump Administration fast-track environmental disasters like Pebble Mine and more during the pandemic: Donate $5 or more each month to Friends of the Earth Action. Thanks to support from activists like you, Friends of the Earth Action is pressuring the Army Corps of Engineers to protect Bristol Bay’s communities and pristine salmon habitat, especially during the pandemic. We know Trump’s administration won’t let up; they’re exploiting this crisis to help their Big Polluter buddies every way they can. But right now, the Army Corps should be focused on protecting people from the coronavirus, which rural Bristol Bay communities are scrambling to do. Although the majority of Alaskans, and particularly local Bristol Bay communities, have overwhelmingly opposed Pebble Mine for a decade, they’re now busy with preparing for the pandemic -- and unable to fight back as the administration pushes through the permitting for Pebble Mine. That’s why Bristol Bay’s local leaders, including tribal and fishing leaders, formally requested weeks ago that the Army Corps postpone its permitting schedule so they and federal agencies have time to review the project, after responding to the pandemic. But so far, the Army Corps hasn’t listened. We can’t let up. In order to ramp up the pressure and gear up for this -- and all the fights ahead as Trump exploits this pandemic -- we urgently need your sustained support. Rush a monthly donation of $5 or more per month to Friends of the Earth Action, so we can gear up to fight even harder for people and our planet over polluters’ profits. Thank you, Verner Wilson, Senior oceans campaigner, Friends of the Earth Action
