Dear John,
Our public lands, including the Grand Canyon, have been under attack. Take action now.

The Trump Administration dismantled protections for our public lands to increase
the profits of his Big Polluter cronies. But now we have a chance to protect our
public lands and wild places -- including the Grand Canyon.
Congress is considering a permanent ban on uranium mining near Grand Canyon
National Park -- protecting rivers and public health. Together, we can use our
voices to push our Representatives to pass this bill and protect the Grand
Canyon.
Take action now to protect the Grand Canyon from uranium mining.

[[link removed]]This legislation, introduced by Representative Raúl Grijalva, would prevent
mining near the Grand Canyon -- one of America’s most iconic landscapes. But
that’s not all.
This sweeping public lands package will protect 1.49 million acres of public
land as wilderness, incorporate more than 1,000 river miles into the National
Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and withdraw more than 1.2 million acres of
public land from mining claims and new oil and gas leases.
In short, this legislation would free our lands from destructive industries like
fossil fuels and uranium mining. Can we count on your help to push through this
vital legislation?
Demand your Representative protect our wild places by supporting the Protecting
America’s Wilderness and Public Lands Act.

[[link removed]]Our iconic places are home to critical species that have depended on them for
generations. Seven endangered species and three threatened species depend on the Grand
Canyon alone. Dozens of other threatened species depend on the 1.49 million
acres of land that are included in this legislation.
What’s more, communities near the Grand Canyon would benefit from protections
from uranium mining. They would not have to face newly polluted air and toxic
water. And the local tourism-driven economy would benefit from a wide range of
outdoor activities -- hiking, rafting, mountain climbing, and kayaking could
proactively be managed for increased tourism.
With a Democratic Congress and White House, there’s no time like the present to
protect our wild places.
30,000 signatures still needed to protect our wild places from Big Polluters.
