More from Raúl Grijalva
to merely open the floodgates to the use of our public lands without any protections, due process, community involvement... is going back to a time that got us into this situation.
This imbalance of power has resulted in over a century of ongoing toxic mines, scarring our landscape and poisoning our communities.
This bill is not just a give-away to the mining industry. It is a wholesale giveaway of our public lands.
We urge Congress to reject legislative proposals that make this colonial-era law worse.
