Welcome to the Copper Advocates
Copper Advocates is a non-partisan network bringing together individuals, government officials, academic and nonprofit organizations, and companies who recognize copper’s importance to America’s economy, infrastructure and communities.
Building on the tremendous success and momentum of the Congressional Copper Caucus(opens in new tab), the Copper Development Association (CDA) has established the Copper Advocates, to extend engagement beyond Capitol Hill and strengthen the voice for copper at the state and local level.
Copper Advocates creates a platform for people across and beyond the copper industry to stay informed, engage on issues that matter and support practical policies that help maintain a strong domestic copper value chain. Together, Copper Advocates members stand with CDA in advancing greater understanding of copper’s contribution and ensuring that the industry has a meaningful voice in the decisions shaping America’s future.
