EARTHWORKS Mission:


EARTHWORKS is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting communities and the environment from the destructive impacts of mineral development, in the U.S. and worldwide.

EARTHWORKS stands for clean water, healthy communities and corporate accountability. We're working for solutions that protect the earth's resources and communities. (www.earthworksaction.org)

They fulfill their mission by working with communities and grassroots groups to reform government policies, improve corporate practices, influence investment decisions and encourage responsible materials sourcing and consumption.

We expose the health, environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts of mining through work informed by sound science.

EARTHWORKS brings together activists, organizers, scientists, engineers, and community leaders in a unified effort to protect our communities and the earth's resources.

EARTHWORKS evolved from the work of the Mineral Policy Center (MPC). MPC was founded by Phil Hocker, Mike McCloskey and former Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall to help reform mining laws and practices in the U.S. MPC has worked largely behind the scenes to combat the destructive impacts of mining, drilling and digging.

EARTHWORKS is organized for more collaboration and greater efficiency. Collaboration will lead to greater success and make us more efficient so that we're maximizing every contribution.
