Jack, sign the petition: Defend the Antiquities Act and protect our nation's heritage!
Sign the petition
The Antiquities Act protects special natural and historical sites, including sacred mountains, stunning rock formations, and areas rich in our nation’s history. They serve as vaults for cultural narratives and histories that define our nation and origins, as well as being vital for biodiversity and ecosystems. Now, they're under threat.
Undermining the Antiquities Act, Republicans in the US House have introduced H.R.5499, the Congressional Oversight of the Antiquities Act, and it threatens to sever our connection to these irreplaceable treasures.
The GOP's proposed bill (PDF) aims to roll back efforts to safeguard national sites of historic importance. It undermines commitments to preserving nature and addressing climate change, jeopardizes the collaborative relationship between Native American tribes and the federal government, and is broadly rejected by the American public.
We cannot stand idly by as the legacy of our nation's heritage is threatened. Together let’s ensure that our nation's treasures, the sacred landscapes, and the narratives they hold endure for generations to come.
Sign the petition: Tell your member of Congress to vote NO on the Congressional Oversight to the Antiquities Act to make sure our national treasures endure!
