This Earth Month, the places we love need us now more than ever, John.
While we celebrate the beauty and importance of our public lands, federal leaders are working to strip protections from national monuments like Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada and Bears Ears in Utah. Back in 2020, the green light was given for drilling and mining in these areas. And special interest groups are actively pushing to remove essential protections that keep these public lands open to all of us.
These lands are more than scenic landscapes — they are sacred sites, vital habitats, and pieces of our collective history. And right now, they are at risk of being sold off and sacrificed for financial gain.
With Bears Ears, Avi Kwa Ame, and other monuments under threat, we must take action now. Every gift made will be TRIPLED, up to $250,000, fueling the fight to protect our public lands and build climate solutions in communities like yours.

The good news? TPL is fighting back. We can’t let them take these lands away. We are holding firm against any effort to shrink, sell off, or strip protections from our national monuments by:
|
• | | Advancing legislation at the state and local level to protect federal lands. |
• | | Pushing lawmakers in DC to uphold the Antiquities Act, which has been used to protect some of our most important cultural, natural, and historical sites. |
• | | Working harder than ever on projects that expand access to the outdoors for every person, regardless of zip code. |

P.S. We do our best not to ask for donations from members who just made a gift, but sometimes our records don't update fast enough to keep recent donors from receiving an appeal like this. So, if you did just give, thank you for your support, and our apologies for the extra email!
