Hi there,
Meghan here with the Save Bristol Bay campaign. I'm writing because you signed your business or organization on to a letter to President Trump asking him to deny the federal permit for the proposed Pebble mine. The letter has now closed, and was delivered to the White House today.
First and foremost, we want to say thank you for adding your business or organization along with nearly 250 other groups who stand with the people, fish and fish-based economies in Bristol Bay. This was a big letter and show of opposition to Pebble from an influential community, so we appreciate you signing on. While it has been delivered, we aren't going public with it until early next week. I'll circle around shortly with a final copy, a press release, and blog post from the campaign if you'd like to share with your network.
I also wanted to invite you to participate in our Social Media Day of Action that we are hosting tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13th. We are asking sporting and outdoor businesses, organizations, and individuals across the country to simply share a Bristol Bay picture (one of your own, or a shared post from Save Bristol Bay) with a call for friends and followers to sign the *grassroots* petition to the President before it closes on Friday. Please direct them to take action at www.savebristolbay.org/tellpresidenttrump.
I've attached a couple images that you may use on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, and encourage you to use #savebristolbay #nopebblemine #IFishIHuntIOpposePebble. Don't forget to tag @SaveBristolBay and @RealDonaldTrump.
Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to seeing your Bristol Bay posts tomorrow!
Best,
Meghan
