About

WMAN began as a small grassroots group in the western United States to help each other protect their communities from the environmental devastation of mining.
WMAN has since expanded over the years to provide free programs and services to mining-affected communities across the US and Canada, beyond just the West. WMAN hosts an active Caucus of groups in the Great Lakes region (on both the US and Canadian side of the lakes), an Alaska Caucus, supports communities dealing with the legacy of coal mining in the southeast US, and includes First Nations and other communities working on mining in eastern Canada as well.

Now, more than 400 people across the United States and Canada participate in WMAN, representing Tribes, First Nations, grassroots community groups, scientists, legal experts, and non-profit environmental organizations, all sharing a common goal to better protect the environment and communities from past, present and future mining. WMAN has grown into a unique, critical forum that has a positive impact in strengthening environmental advocacy work, community skills, and non-violent, direct action on the ground in mining-affected communities.
