#BWCADay “Because of you, Antofagasta cannot put a shovel in the ground and poison the Boundary Waters… Because of you PolyMet cannot put a shovel in the ground and poison Lake Superior.” Chris Knopf, @FriendsBWCAW #ProveItFirst

#ProveItFirst “[Sulfide mining companies] can’t do it safely… they want to pass all the costs off on us, the water and our communities. They’re going to take that money and they’re going to be gone.” -Senator Jen McEwen #BWCADay #BoundaryWaters #LakeSuperior #MN @FriendsBWCAW

Honored to join the Prove It First rally! Now more than ever, we must protect our most precious natural resource: our water. With accelerating climate change & increasing water scarcity, we have an obligation to be good stewards of our water in MN. #ProveItFirst #ProtectWater💧

How can @mndnr possibly take PolyMet’s ridiculously dangerous plans seriously for even one minute???? Nothing like this has ever been done successfully, anywhere in the world! #mnleg, you’d better pass #ProveItFirst ASAP!!!
Just cuz, a quick refresher thread on the bentonite contested case that is still going on in the PolyMet matter. The next decision is with the DNR designee who will decide whether to adopt the judge's recommendation that the scheme is not "practical and workable." 1/🧵

We need to take some lessons from East Palestine. When corporations say ‘trust us’ … don’t. When corporations answer to shareholders over clean water… definitely don’t trust them. #proveitfirst!!!
"We're talking about the water that our children drink, the water that we bathe in, the water that our economies depend on." Thank you @JenMcEwenMN and @RepJessHansonMN and our supporters for introducing #ProveItFirst at the Capitol! #mnleg

Great meeting of the Prove It First coalition today! Protecting Minnesota’s water is one of the big challenges we face as a state. It’s imperative that we approach industrial projects that threaten water with great care and caution. #ProveItFirst #ProtectWater💧

“These agencies, the DNR, the MPCA and others are the victims of what is called ‘regulatory capture’… they have prioritized the interests of industry over those of Minnesotans.” - Linda Herron, Sierra Club volunteer leader #BWCADay #ProveItFirst #Water @FriendsBWCAW @MCEA1974

Archie used to take our kids to the Boundary Waters every summer. It was a yearly reminder of how lucky we are to be able to enjoy the natural resources Minnesota has to offer. On Earth Day, let’s do our part to take care of our planet so future generations can enjoy it, too.

We're proud to support this policy! #mnleg should take action on the #ProveItFirst bill to protect our priceless clean water for future generations.
#ProveItFirst hearing at the Capitol “We are here today not to demand extreme legislation, but to ask #mnleg to take common-sense measures to protect what makes Minnesota a great home to five million people: our clean water.” -@chrisdknopf, @FriendsBWCAW

“@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

We are grateful to Congresswoman @BettyMcCollum04 for protecting the Boundary Waters from sulfide mining threats. #SaveTheseWaters. #ProveItFirst #WaterIsLife
The science shows sulfide-ore copper mining pollution would harm the pristine waters of the BWCAW. A bill up in the House today would undo all of the progress we've made to #SaveTheseWaters. I spoke out against it because future generations deserve to experience this place.

We need our legislators to enact #ProveItFirst law ASAP! #MnLeg must tighten up our lax laws and get serious about protecting water for all Minnesotans.
“In January, the Biden Adminstration declared a 20-year moratorium on this type of mining on about 225,000 acres, a historic step guided by a scientific analysis outlining the risk to this watershed.” Minnesota must now do it’s part to protect the BWCA: https://t.co/jtS39TCadF

The DFL convention showed a curious alliance between labor and foreign mining corporations #ProveItFirst #mnleg
