John,
When the Trump Administration
cut Bears Ears National Monument by 85% in 2017, it put more than a
million acres of irreplaceable historical, archeological, and cultural
sites at risk of looting and destruction. Now, they've released
their plans to open up what's left of Bears Ears National
Monument to drilling and mining - ignoring the will of the
majority of Americans to protect this undeveloped and precious
landscape.
This plan is unacceptable. Don't let the Trump Administration
hand over the remaining portion of Bears Ears to private corporations
to pillage.

Bears Ears National Monument was
originally designated to protect 1.35 million acres of lands rich with
cultural heritage, flora and fauna, and recreational opportunity.
Allowing any part of these lands - from the ancient cliff
dwellings to the scenic buttes to the juniper forests - to fall
into the wrong hands will do irreversible damage to Utah's
iconic landscape. Yet, over 300 mining claims have already been filed
within the original boundaries of the monument.
We cannot allow the Trump
Administration to sell off Bears Ears National Monument to the highest
bidder. That's why we are working to build support in Congress
for the Bears Ears Expansion and Respect for Sovereignty Act (H.R.
871). This Act will bar the administration from placing these public
lands in the hands of corporations, expand the monument to 1.9 million
acres, and restore protections for over 100,000 archeological and
cultural sites currently at risk.
This bill must be passed to
protect Bears Ears National Monument. Send a message to your
representatives now to keep corporate hands off our public lands!

Thank you for keeping up the fight to protect our National Monument
landscapes during this critical time.
