| Why it matters |

| Giving through a Donor-Advised Fund. Now is the moment. |
| Nearly a million acres that were, until two years ago, part of Grand-Staircase Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments are about to go on the auction block, to be sold to the highest bidder and drilled and mined for short term profit. Make a tax-deductible gift to advance our work in Washington, DC, and across the country to defend all of our treasured national monuments from short-sighted destruction.
