Hi Friend,

This June, we’re celebrating the 116th anniversary of the Antiquities Act! Since 1906, Presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect national monuments for future generations. This important law can help us conserve lands and waters critical to honoring the full story of our country.

One such opportunity exists in Nevada: Avi Kwa Ame. This nearly 450,000 acre land south of Las Vegas, near Searchlight, is critically important to Yuman-speaking Indigenous tribes in the southwest, as well as a hotspot of biodiversity for desert plants & animals alike. Congresswoman Dina Titus just wrote an op-ed published yesterday in the Las Vegas Sun detailing all the reasons President Biden should use the Antiquities Act to protect this incredibly special place.

Join us in celebrating by supporting the designation of Avi Kwa Ame in Southern Nevada as the next National Monument!

Here’s how you can help, Friend!
