We may have won this round, but we need your help to keep the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument protected: [link removed]
***********************************************************
Dear Friend,
Loved by Utah residents and people across the country, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was established 30 years ago to protect the geological and ecological resources within its 1.9 million-acre boundaries in southern Utah.
But since Trump’s inauguration, attacks on precious national monuments and other public lands have grown more frequent. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has tried to abuse the arcane Congressional Review Act to fast-track an attack on Grand Staircase-Escalante. The CRA resolution would undo the monument management plan, leading to chaos on the ground.
The 60-day window that would have allowed a CRA resolution to pass the Senate with just 51 votes has ended. Now, Sen. Lee would need 60 votes to pass his misguided resolution – making the path toward passage highly unlikely.
This is a moment to celebrate, but that doesn’t mean that the threat to Grand Staircase-Escalante is over. Senator Lee has already said that while this CRA pathway is no longer available, his focus on the issue remains unchanged. We need your help to ensure that Congress rejects any future attacks on Grand Staircase-Escalante or other national monuments. [link removed]
Growing influence from extractive industry threatens monuments like Grand Staircase-Escalante and other public lands that belong to us all. This follows a pattern Earthjustice is seeing of administrative and legislative attacks, like the recission of the Roadless Rule, the withdrawal of the 20-year mining ban on the Boundary Waters, and the opening up of marine monuments to commercial fishing.
Earthjustice is committed to protecting our public lands. President Trump and his allies have tried to attack national monuments before, but we’ve taken them to court and pushed back through our advocacy. We know this fight is winnable and we need you with us. Tell Congress to reject future attacks on Grand Staircase-Escalante and other national monuments across the country. [link removed]
TAKE ACTION: [link removed]
Sincerely,
Blaine Miller-McFeeley
Sr. Legislative Representative
