John,

President Biden and Secretary Haaland recently announced plans to prevent new oil and gas development on public lands within a 10-mile radius around Chaco Culture National Historical Park.

For over a century, the U.S. government has treated the Greater Chaco region as an energy sacrifice zone. In addition to being home to families and communities harmed because of endless drilling in this region, Chaco Canyon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with ancient highways and is a sacred ancestral site for the Hopi and Pueblo people.

The plan for a 20-year withdrawal would not be possible without constant pressure from the Indigenous-led Greater Chaco Coalition, which we’re proud to be a part of.

We’re celebrating this positive step toward more meaningful sovereign tribal government-to-government consultation and essential protections for this region in collaboration with frontline communities. But there’s more work to be done to stop Big Oil & Gas.

Donate to Food & Water Watch today so we can continue to push the Biden Administration to end drilling on all public lands.

For years, we have worked with the Greater Chaco Coalition and national allies to submit tens of thousands of protest signatures. Our efforts have made a difference in stalling leasing and fracking development in the area.

Just last year, over 12,000 Food & Water Watch supporters sent messages to Trump’s Interior Secretary Bernhardt, and with our partners we got an extension to a critical comment period on a plan that proposed bringing thousands of new fracking wells to the area.

We’ve proven that when we stick together, we can make change happen even when the odds are stacked against us.

Every day that drilling and fracking continues is a day lost in the fight to stop climate change. And everywhere around the country, communities are already suffering the consequences of rampant drilling, fracking and fossil fuel use. Fires, floods, heat waves and water shortages have become the norm, and our leaders need to do everything possible to reverse course now.

Thank you for everything you’ve done to support our work to stop drilling near Chaco Canyon and on all public lands. Our work isn’t over.

President Biden promised to listen to the science on climate change and public health – not Big Oil & Gas. Together, we can hold the Biden administration to its promises and stop endless drilling on public lands.

Donate today so that we can keep fighting to protect every single acre of public land put up for lease across the country.
