URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Protect an American national treasure on our public lands! Sign the petition now!

The Chaco Canyon region in New Mexico is home to 1,000-year-old rock engravings and ancient houses of Indigenous Pueblo and Navajo communities. This land remains deeply valued by Indigenous communities and also contains vital water resources.

More than 91% of available lands in the Greater Chaco area are leased for fracking! Every day, fracking rigs shake the ground, spew pollution, and produce contaminated wastewater in this special place.

With the help of activists like you, we successfully pushed the Department of Interior to declare a temporary moratorium on oil drilling within 10-miles of Chaco Canyon. Now, we need your help to permanently protect the Greater Chaco region and ensure Tribes are given co-management of the lands! Please, Friend, help amplify Tribal demands and protect Chaco Canyon from greedy companies! >>

Fracking spills, leaks, and explosions happen daily – and Indigenous people feel the impacts disproportionately due to their unique relationship to the land and water. In Chaco Canyon, their historically and culturally important sites can be damaged by fracking.

For more than a century, the federal government has treated the Greater Chaco region as an energy “sacrifice zone,” dumping fracking leases onto these lands at the expense of local communities. Will you help us reach our goal of 691 more signatures from your area and tell the Department of Interior to protect Chaco Canyon and meet Tribal demands?
