REMINDER: We can afford to protect and expand Social Security through the rest of the century if the richest among us pay their fair share!

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour.

A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29.

Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

This year, your monthly donation has ~2.5× the impact.

With more Interceptors in the water and more efficient operations, we’re collecting more trash for every dollar.

We don’t allow mining in Glacier.

We don’t allow mining in Yosemite.

We don’t allow mining in Zion.

We don't allow mining in Acadia.

We don't allow mining in Grand Teton.

We shouldn’t allow mining in the Boundary Waters.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.

The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.

The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

These motherfuckers are laughing at us as we pay our taxes while they make $193 million from polluting our communities and—get this—the government then gives them an extra $10 million from the tax dollars we just paid. It’s fucking robbery.

[Michael Pizzino @mpizzino]

As it should be..

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

Remember Dan Price...that CEO who took a pay cut so he could pay all his employees a minimum annual wage of $70,000? Here’s what happened next:

“Six years later after the decision that others said would destroy his business, Dan reports that revenue has tripled, the customer base has doubled, 70% of his employees have paid down debt, many bought homes for the first time, 401(k) contributions grew by 155% and turnover dropped in half. His business is now a Harvard Business School case study.”

In his own words:
“6 years ago today I raised my company's min annual salary to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines.

Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought.

Always invest in people.”

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
