Due to the Trump administration’s actions last December, the lands that make up the historic Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments in Utah will be opened up to roads and the mining industry today, Friday, Feb. 2, 2018.
Join us in protest today for the National Day of Action for Public Lands. Here’s what you can do:
- If you’re on social media, share your support of Senator Tom Udall and others who introduced the 2018 ANTIQUITIES Act. This bill would ensure that opportunities for hunting, tourism, scientific research, conservation and cultural uses in our national monuments are protected for future generations. Tweet this or share on Facebook.
- Email or call your representative and urge him or her to oppose H.R. 4532 and H.R. 4558, bills that back Trump’s cuts to Grand Staircase Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments. Learn more about these bills here.
Take action now to save our public lands — and tell your friends, neighbors and family to do the same.
- Valerie Love, Deputy Director, Ignite Change
