Urgent Action

Help us prevent a mining disaster. Our lake is at stake.

help-prevent-mining-disaster

That’s the Rock Creek Alliance message as we enlist citizens to raise their voices against the Rock Creek Mine. This ad was  part of our ongoing efforts to raise awareness of  the jeopardy that the mine poses to Lake Pend Oreille and the greater Sandpoint area, just downstream of the proposed mine site.

“Sandpoint has everything to lose and absolutely nothing to gain from this monster of a mine,” the ad concludes.

Write Your Representatives

You can make an enormous difference simply by e-mailing decision-makers. Let them know that mining beneath a federally designated wilderness area—polluting public rivers, streams and lakes and jeopardizing wildlife—won’t be tolerated or condoned. Ask them to hold accountable the agencies under their jurisdictions, such as Montana DEQ, the U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Share Your Opinion

Writing a letter to an editor can make a big difference in shaping public opinion, and it only takes a few minutes. Please keep your letters brief and talk about your personal connection to the issue. We recommend speaking out against the harm this mine will do to water quality, endangered species, the sanctity of wilderness, and to our  local, recreation-based economy. Visit the What’s At Stake section of our website to learn how the mine threatens the very things we value most.
