Help the NRDC run this powerful ad against Pebble Mine 19JUN14

THE NRDC has been leading the fight against the proposed Pebble Mine in Alaska for years (just click the link to go to their Pebble Mine campaign page). There is still one major international corporation, Canada's northern dynasty minerals, that is still pushing plans and gathering investors for the mine. Please see the blow from the +NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) , check out their Pebble Mine campaign page, and make a donation to keep the struggle active. This battle can be won, public opinion across the nation, including Alaska, opposes this mine, and more politicians are joining the fight. Please donate whatever you can afford....

We still need $32,000 to run our hard-hitting ad in The Vancouver Sun and other media outlets. Please make an emergency gift to help turn up the heat on Northern Dynasty to quit the destructive Pebble Mine.

Help run our full-page ad in The Vancouver Sun and turn up the heat on Canada’s Northern Dynasty Minerals to abandon its plans for the disastrous Pebble Mine. READ OUR AD We need your help to send Northern Dynasty Minerals -- the last company standing behind the Pebble Mine -- a message loud and clear: It’s time to walk away from Bristol Bay! Read the full text of our powerful new ad. Then please make an emergency donation to help us run it next week in The Vancouver Sun -- in the hometown of Northern Dynasty’s headquarters. We need to raise $85,000 right away to get this ad placed next week and to keep running it in other outlets until Northern Dynasty relents in its outrageous attack on an American paradise. We will reach our goal in just 24 hours if a few thousand supporters like you each make a small donation. Will you help get us there? There are three great reasons to believe that your donation and our ad can make a big difference: We pushed hard to get the Pebble Mine’s biggest corporate backers -- Mitsubishi, Anglo American and Rio Tinto -- to abandon this reckless venture, and they did. But Northern Dynasty has not gotten the message. It is still rushing headlong to build its open-pit, copper-and-gold monstrosity -- in defiance of Bristol Bay’s Native communities and commercial fishermen, who don’t want to see their unspoiled Eden turned into a toxic wasteland. Next week, we can make sure that this Canadian mining company feels the harsh glare of the spotlight in its own backyard. Our hard-hitting, full-page ad will turn up the heat until Northern Dynasty quits this disastrous mega-mine. Your tax-deductible gift will enable us to run our ad in the Sun and other media outlets, galvanize a continent-wide outcry against Northern Dynasty Minerals and defend our environment in the most effective way possible. Don’t let them destroy one of America’s last and greatest wild places. Please donate now and send a powerful message to Northern Dynasty next week: It’s time to quit the Pebble Mine! Sincerely, Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council

The mission of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. Donations to this campaign will be used to Stop the Pebble Mine and defend our environment in the most effective way possible.
