Context: The Boundary Waters is a chain of over 1,000 lakes on the border of Canada and Minnesota. The Boundary Waters are the homelands of the Anishinaabe people, and it has become a very special place for Minnesotans and so many others -- I grew up going to the Boundary Waters every summer going canoeing and camping with my family and we have so many great memories from it. Unfortunately its under threat, there has been a ban on mining in the Boundary Waters for 20 years but just last Friday there was a bill that passed in the House of Representatives to overturn the ban and its currently waiting for a vote in the Senate. If the ban is overturned, a Chilean owned company called Twin Metals will be able to carry out toxic sulfide-ore copper mining -- and pollution from this mine would flow directly into the Wilderness, impacting all downstream landscapes, including Quetico Provincial Park and Voyageurs National Park. Please call your Senators and tell them to save the Boundary Waters. I am donating 100% of proceeds from this painting - half will be going to an organization called Save the Boundary Waters, who is leading the effort to ensure permanent protection for the Wilderness from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining. The other half will be donated to Unidos Minnesota, an organization on the frontlines of the resistance in MInneapolis that advances social, racial and economic justice.
