John,

Chaco Canyon is one of the most gorgeous places in America, with wild, high-desert landscapes and the ruins of indigenous cultures that have lived and thrived there for over a thousand years — it truly is a one-of-a-kind treasure to the peoples of the Southwest.1

Ninety-one percent of the area around Chaco Canyon has been opened to oil and gas drilling. But the Trump administration is determined to open up even more.^2

With your support, we're not going to let that happen! Will you make a donation today to help stop fracking near Chaco Canyon?

Pollution from existing drilling is known to cause increased health problems, and earthquakes caused by fracking could destroy the precious ancient ruins there.

Trump has shown us that he's capable of caving under pressure. In January of last year, his administration proposed to open nearly all offshore waters to oil drilling, but in the face of a massive grassroots backlash, he caved and restored offshore protections for Florida.

That's the kind of backlash we're seeing with Chaco Canyon, and we need to keep up the pressure.

With your support, we have helped keep 1,500 acres around Chaco Canyon off the auction block and have protested every single acre of land put up for lease in the region by submitting tens of thousands of petition signatures.

And along with our indigenous and environmental partners, we are pushing for landmark legislation that would prohibit all new oil and gas leases within ten miles of Chaco Canyon.

We simply cannot allow a place as special as Chaco Canyon to be destroyed by fracking.

Will you make a donation to help stop fracking near Chaco Canyon?
