It’s time to ramp up the pressure and tell the DOI to safeguard our national monuments: [link removed]

Dear Friend,

Our national monuments are under threat of industrial development, and we need your help. Earlier this year, President Trump signed a series of executive orders to direct the Department of the Interior (DOI) to find ways to open public lands to industrial extraction.

The latest on the chopping block may be two recently designated monuments in California: Chuckwalla National Monument and Sáttítla Highlands National Monument. Now is the time to raise our voices and show the Trump administration how deeply unpopular it is to attack our national monuments. [link removed]

These monuments have broad, local, bipartisan support. Indigenous and local communities fought across many administrations to protect these places and Trump’s actions put at risk countless sacred sites, landscapes, and cultural resources.

Americans do not want our public lands given over to extractive industries at the expense of outdoor recreation opportunities, local businesses, open land, wildlife, and clean air and water. No matter who is in the White House, one thing remains true: Americans of all political persuasions want to conserve public lands where we can enjoy their rich biodiversity, clean air and water, and the many unique opportunities to see ancient fossils, jaw-dropping geologic features, or the important cultural sites from indigenous tribes who have stewarded the land.  

National monuments and our public lands are cherished nationwide. Rather than protecting the cultural treasures and one-of-a-kind ecosystems that monuments like Chuckwalla and Sáttítla Highlands this administration is laying the groundwork to sell these lands to the highest bidder. This is your chance to reach out to Interior Secretary Burgum and let him know you won’t stand for America’s natural, cultural and historic heritage to be sold to private industry. [link removed]
