Take Action! Call 1-888-464-1997, text RECLAIM to 69866, or visit https://reclaimact.com/ to contact your legislators.

A short new video tells the story of the abandoned mine lands plaguing communities across the country, and why Congress must act now to create jobs cleaning up these sites!

Tell your representative to support abandoned mine land cleanup by reauthorizing the federal program, passing the RECLAIM Act, and investing the billions of dollars needed to reclaim these dangerous sites!

Cleaning up these decades-old abandoned mine sites is an investment that will protect communities, clean up damaged land and water and create 13,000 jobs each year.
