The Trump Administration is rushing to give Rio Tinto, an international mining conglomerate with a history of abuses against indigenous people, access to copper deposits beneath #OakFlat, a site sacred to several tribes.

Call your congressional representatives and tell them to support the Save Oak Flats Acts (HB 665 and SB 173). Donate to Native-led groups working on this issue, like Apache Stronghold
