This landmark bill would repeal a key section of the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act that handed over 2,422 acres of Arizona’s Tonto National Forest, including the sacred site of Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel), to a Chinese mining corporation.   Grijalva’s legislation protects a site of profound religious, cultural, historical, and environmental importance to Tribal Nations in Arizona and across the country. It also halts a mining project that would deplete Arizona’s scarce water resources, create one of the largest toxic waste sites in North America, and transfer U.S. copper to a foreign mining venture with direct shareholder ties to the government of the People’s Republic of China. Tribal Nations, including the Apache Stronghold, San Carlos Apache Tribe, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, and Tohono O’od, are organizing to pass this critical law and they need our support.   Click “START WRITING” to send a message to your representative and help pass the Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act now. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/save-oak-flat-from-foreign-mining-act-2
