	"description": "A billionaire is trying to build the world’s largest open-pit gold mine in Western Alaska, so he can profit at the expense of Mother Earth and nearby Indigenous communities. Tribes have opposed this destructive project for years, and now we have a chance to stop it. The Donlin Gold Mine would involve polluting infrastructure, such as a 316-mile-long gas pipeline -- and produce 550 million tons of toxic waste. All this waste would be held back by a “tailings dam” taller than the Statue of Liberty, which will spill into the region once the dam’s 27 year life span ends. Our partners at the Mother Kuskokwim Tribal Coalition said: “We cannot, and will not, trade the safety of our children and our rivers for a gold mine that will last only 27 years,” and “Even when the mine closes, that dam remains -- and it needs to hold back toxic waste forever.” The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initially authorized this project, but Tribal-led lawsuits forced the Army Corps to study its impacts before it could move forward. The Army Corps just released that study, which confirms that even a partial spill of the Donlin Mine’s toxic waste would be catastrophic. It would kill people, poison drinking water for more than a century, bury a nearby Native village and make it “uninhabitable,” and wipe out salmon for generations (which Alaska Natives rely on for survival). After reviewing public comments on its new Draft Environmental Impact Statement, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will make a final environmental assessment and decide whether to reaffirm, modify, or rescind its previously-approved permits for the Donlin Gold Mine. Click “START WRITING” to submit a public comment before next week’s deadline to tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Stop this destructive toxic mine! (We’ve got a sample comment pre-filled-in, which you can customize quickly.)",
