Friend —

Deb Haaland promised to be a different kind of leader. Since day one, she has prioritized working closely with Indigenous groups and Tribal leaders, as well as activists and local communities to protect endangered places with natural, cultural, and sacred significance.

Secretary Haaland and President Biden just took a major step to fulfill these promises. Recently, after Secretary Haaland's review and recommendation — including the influence of 2.7 million comments from activists like you — President Biden restored protections for three sacred and majestic national monuments: Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Northeast Canyon and Seamounts. Now, these special areas are once again off-limits for mining and to oil companies, and restored to their full pre-Trump protections.

Will you join us in thanking Secretary Haaland for her strong leadership today? We're hoping to send 1,000 thank you notes from LCV supporters today, urging her to keep up the fight!

ADD YOUR NAME

Indigenous communities and local leaders boldly resisted the Trump administration's attacks on these lands. The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition has been relentless in demanding respect for the natural, cultural, and religious significance of Bears Ears.

LCV is proud to be an ally in that work. And we are grateful to Secretary Haaland and President Biden for taking a critical step in restoring these protections.

The Biden administration has set a goal of conserving 30% of our lands and waters by 2030 to combat the climate crisis and make access to nature more equitable. Thanks to Secretary Haaland, we are well-positioned to make extraordinary progress toward this critical goal.

Help show our appreciation for her leadership — and urge Secretary Haaland to continue to fight to protect public lands, advance racial justice, respect Tribes, and address the climate crisis »

Thank you!
