Everyone is needed to protect water in the fight to stop destructive mining in the Black Hills. This means you!
Here are some ways you can help listed below:
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 addresses 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!
Join our Monthly Meeting. We have monthly meetings that you can join to find out how you can help.

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, submit a public comment, or make a call, when available to protect our natural ecosystems in the Black Hills.
Let us know your ideas. How can we be creative to protect water and land from proposed mining projects? Know the Issues.
