John,
This is horrifying. The Trump Administration is fast-tracking efforts
to allow uranium mining around Grand Canyon National Park.
John, your
voice is crucial. Take action now to protect the Grand Canyon today!

In 2012, after extensive public support, the Department of Interior
put in place a 20-year ban on uranium mining for 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.
This could be a disaster for our
beloved public lands and one of America's most iconic National
Parks. But now we have an urgent opportunity to fight back in
Congress. Representative Raul Grijalva, the House Natural Resources
Committee Chair, from Arizona, recently introduced a bill that would
permanently protect over one million acres around the Grand Canyon
from uranium mining - and the bill is expected to be voted on
this week in the House of Representatives.
It is essential that Trust for
Public Land supporters like you take action today to protect the Grand
Canyon before the bill comes up for a vote. Sign now and urge your
Representative to support the Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act
(H.R. 1373) today!

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.
This cannot wait. Your
Representative needs to hear from you now to protect the Grand Canyon
from dangerous uranium mining.

We can't let this
opportunity to protect one of America's most iconic National
Parks pass us by - please act now to protect the Grand Canyon
today, John.
Thank you,
