WHAT'S AT Â STAKE?
If it is constructed, the proposed Donlin Gold mine will be one of the world's larges open-pit gold mines.
The project will dramatically change the Yukon Kuskokwim region, threatening the health and well-being of residents, communities, and wildlife for generations.
The mine will permanently damage the water, the resources, and the subsistence lifestyle of the Yukon Kuskokwim River Delta.
​
Join us in saying "NO" to Donlin Gold.
THERE ARE CLEAR RISKS.​ WE NEED TO STAND FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR FISH, OUR WATER, AND OUR PEOPLE.
