ProtectThePorkies is not an organization— we are a decentralized people's movement, and we won't succeed without your help.
This petition is our most powerful symbol of collective opposition and is the cornerstone of our strategy to gain the attention of politicians and media. After you sign it, share a comment at the bottom, then spread the link to others.
To accompany our petition, we collecting Letters of Support from Organizations. In the future, when Copperwood applies for a grant or renews a permit, we can present these letters to support our case.
FOR ORGANIZATIONS: Guide / template letter
FOR INDIVIDUALS: Guide for reaching out to organizations.
Please send completed Support Letters to ProtectThePorkies@gmail.com
Governor Whitmer says she's serious about climate change, but as we come to live on a hotter, drier planet — in which conflicts are being fought over access to water, in which many cities must ship it in from hundreds of miles away— we should be doing everything we can to protect Lake Superior, 10% of the world's surface freshwater.

Governor Whitmer says she's serious about climate change, but as we come to live on a hotter, drier planet — in which conflicts are being fought over access to water, in which many cities must ship it in from hundreds of miles away— we should be doing everything we can to protect Lake Superior, 10% of the world's surface freshwater.
Write to the Governor and tell her in your own words why mines like Copperwood have NO PLACE in a "Healthy Climate" plan. Ask her to file a formal state petition for review of the project. See below for a sample message.

Attorney General Dana Nessel has been a crucial player in the fight against Line 5. Given that there is no higher priority than protecting our freshwater resources (not to mention our most beloved State Park), tell her it is urgent to file a state petition for review of the Copperwood Mine. For supporting arguments, see below.

Whether you are a Yooper or wider Michigan resident, one of the most powerful steps you can take is to contact your local legislators.
It's time to tell them that when it comes to protecting Lake Superior and Michigan's most beloved State Park, your vote's on the line.
The fate of the Copperwood Mine will be determined by how well we undermine the project's "social license to operate" and this depends on how many people even know about it.
Please reach out to your favorite radio shows, TV shows, podcasts, newspapers, blogs, etc. and tell them why it's urgent to cover this story!
