Tell Congress to Protect Our Public Lands

[link removed]

The Antiquities Act is one of America's most effective
conservation laws-it's protected some of our most popular
scenic wonders, including the Grand Canyon. But this critical
conservation tool is under attack. Congress is considering
S.220/H.R.521, a bill that would repeal the Antiquities Act. Urge
Congress to vote down this bill so we can protect our public lands!
