Protect Thacker Pass is a grassroots organization dedicated to advocating against the destructive impacts of lithium mining at Thacker Pass in northern Nevada. The group envisions a future that prioritizes ecological health, ensuring harmony with nature rather than exploitation for resources. They raise awareness about the environmental degradation caused by lithium extraction, paralleling it with the detrimental effects of coal mining.

The organization mobilizes a diverse coalition of Native American tribes, environmental activists, and local communities to halt the lithium mining operations proposed by Lithium Americas Corporation. Protect Thacker Pass aims to protect not only the unique biodiversity of the McDermitt Caldera region but also to encourage a broader shift towards reduced dependence on cars and sustainable economic practices.

Through legal actions, community engagement, and educational initiatives, Protect Thacker Pass seeks to rescind mining permits and designate the area as a National Monument to safeguard the land for future generations. The commitment to environmental justice and preservation drives their ongoing campaigns and community involvement efforts.
