Everyone is needed in the fight to stop unwise and destructive mining in the Black Hills. This means you!

Contact government officials in your area – from Tribal to Federal to State to County to City. Write them letters and emails (addresses are usually on the government’s website). Go to their public events, board meetings, and council meetings and talk to them about opposing mining in the Black Hills. Call them. We don’t need any more destructive mining operations or another Superfund site.

Sometimes, we’ll ask you to contact those governmental officials – so be sure to do it then! It’s good to let them know we’re paying attention, even when nothing major is going on at the moment. If you need help finding email addresses or street addresse contact your local government agencies or visit our Public Comment Opportunities page for updates. If you hear of any Public Comment Opportunities regarding mining that we don’t have posted please reach out to us.

There are regular hearings on various proposed mining projects. Sometimes, the public has an opportunity to be heard. Speak up!

Attend events and CTAs (Call to Action). We have monthly meetings. There are opportunities to hold banners and lightboards in public places. Volunteer at our information tables. Contact Us if you would like to receive emails for these actions/opportunities.

We hold fundraisers. And much more. Watch our Blog and social media.

Talk to your friends and family. Many people don’t know that these mining projects threaten our water and health and economy. Encourage them to visit Know the Issues to learn more. And sign petitions, when available to protect our natural ecosystems in the Black Hills.

Share our blog posts or emails announcement with family and friends.

Take a Stand in Solidarity with Black Hills Clean Water Alliance and allies to protect the water here in our beautiful Black Hills. It is up to every one of us to be part of the solution!
