The Western Mining Action Network’s (WMAN) mission is to foster and support
a strong network that protects communities, land, water, air, and wildlife
by reforming mining practices and holding government and corporations
accountable. Nearly 100 organizations participate in WMAN.
WMAN’s key functions are:
- Networking and communicating on strategies;
- Bringing new groups and constituencies into the Network;
- Acquiring training and tools and making them available to grassroots activists;
- Linking activists with technical and legal experts;
- Increasing awareness of mining issues with charitable foundations;
- Providing a listserv and website for communication and information sharing; and
- Biennial conferences.
