Tamarack Water Alliance is registered as a non-for-profit organization in the state of Minnesota but is not certifified as a federal non-profit (e.g. 501c3).
Tamarack Water Alliance is comprised of Minnesota residents and landowners working together with others from across Minnesota to protect water and community health through education. Our current focus is on providing education about the risks of sulfide mining, narratives to counter the greenwashing and divisiveness that some mining companies promote, as well as forging connections to other communities concerned about sulfide mines in Minnesota, across the Midwest, and around the world. We also support community health initiatives, highlighting the risks of sulfide mining to drinking water wells and to fisheries in our region. We support the Treaty Rights enshrined in the 1855 and 1854 treaties between the Anishinaabe and the United States Government, as well as a strong focus on wild rice protection.
We are a volunteer based organization with no paid staff. As such, your contributions go directly toward our community educational activities which include tabling at community festivals and parades, participation in other community events, targeted speaking engagements with interested local organizations, monthly informational public zoom calls and an associated email newsletter, website and social media, letter writing campaigns and articles in local news outlets, interviews with media, and other community outreach and canvasing.
