illegal gold mining

To: Sen. Van Hollen, Rep. Ivey, Sen. Cardin

From: A constituent in Beltsville, MD

November 4

Illegal gold mining in Ghana is destroying access to clean drinking water, depriving children who are forced into labor of their childhoods, resulting in violence over gold related disputes. As the United States continues to benefit from Ghanaian gold we should also have the responsibility of ensuring tha t it is acquired in an ethical manner that puts the health and safety of workers and the protection of the environment at a premium. As your constituent, it is extremely important to me that we do something to alleviate the suffering that is being caused.
