July 11 – Noon
5/3rd Building (111 Lyon St)
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
Join Coaster Brook Earth First! for a protest at the offices of Warner, Norcross, and Judd, LLP in downtown Grand Rapids. The law firm is providing legal counsel to Kennecott Minerals, a company seeking to open a controversial sulfide mine in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Mining in sulfide-rich areas produces acid mine drainage–sulfuric acid that can leak into nearby wells, streams, and lakes. Mining on the Yellow Dog Plains could alter water quality and flow, devastating this fragile eco-system and threatening the health of various waterways.
