Interested in joining a nonpartisan nationwide network for individuals, public officials, organizations, and companies that recognize copper’s importance to the U.S. economy, infrastructure, and manufacturing?

If so, then consider becoming a Copper Advocate[2]—a new, free initiative from the Copper Development Association[3] (CDA) that is open to anyone interested in supporting copper.

“Copper supports jobs, businesses, and communities across the country, and many of the policies that influence its future are shaped at the state and local level,” said president & CEO Adam Estelle.

As a Copper Advocate[2], you will receive updates on policy developments, industry issues, and copper’s economic impact, along with opportunities to lend your voice when relevant advocacy needs arise.

Those opportunities may include signing letters and contacting elected officials, sharing perspectives with policymakers, or supporting other actions that communicate copper’s value to U.S. communities. Participation in each specific advocacy effort is voluntary.

The domestic copper industry generates $254 billion in annual economic output, supports more than 576,000 jobs nationwide, and contributes $22.9 billion annually in federal, state, and local tax revenues, says CDA.

“Becoming a Copper Advocate[2] gives people and organizations a straightforward way to stay informed and lend their voice when it matters. We want Copper Advocates to reflect the broad range of people, industries, and communities that depend on copper every day,” Estelle added.

Copper Development Association Inc.[4] is a U.S.-based not-for-profit association of the domestic copper industry, bringing together North American copper and copper alloy semis fabricators, and the global copper mining and production industries.
