John,
The Trump Administration is fast-tracking efforts to allow uranium mining around Grand Canyon National Park.
Sign now and urge your elected representatives to fight back!
This could be a disaster for our beloved public lands and one of America’s most iconic National Parks. The Grand Canyon and its surroundings are a national treasure, attracting millions of visitors each year. Expanding uranium mining in the watershed surrounding Grand Canyon National Park could pollute water resources, destroy sacred indigenous sites, and irreparably damage wildlife habitat that needs to be permanently protected.
In 2012, after extensive public support, the Department of Interior put in place a 20-year ban on uranium mining near the Grand Canyon. The protected area is comprised of approximately one million acres of public land surrounding Grand Canyon National Park. Despite strong local and national backing for protecting this area, the Trump Administration is pushing to open up the landscape to line the pockets of private uranium mining companies.
Sign now and demand that Congress oppose dangerous uranium mining in the Grand Canyon watershed.
The Grand Canyon’s dramatic views of winding canyons, ponderosa pines, and the Colorado River make it the perfect haven for wildlife — and a great place to enjoy whitewater rafting, camping, and hiking. We cannot allow this iconic landscape to be polluted with toxic uranium mining.
Urge your members of Congress to fight back against rollbacks to the uranium mining ban in the Grand Canyon watershed now!
Thank you for taking a stand for America’s iconic National Park and its beautiful surroundings.
