Oak Flat from above
March 07, 2024

On March 1, 2024, a federal court ruled that a mining giant's proposed destruction of Oak Flat, an Apache holy site in Arizona, would not violate religious freedom laws. Apache Stronghold, supported by the Center, will appeal this 6-5 decision to the Supreme Court. The mine threatens Indigenous First Amendment rights, endangers species like ocelots, consumes vast water resources, and would generate 1.4 billion tons of toxic waste.

We urge you to help us call on Congress to pass a law preserving Oak Flat. Take action here: biodiv.us/49GFbRX. The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species by protecting vital lands, waters, and climate.
