URGENT ACTION NEEDED: A national treasure is under attack, but YOU can help protect it and the surrounding public lands. Act now to save Avi Kwa Ame!

Avi Kwa Ame, or Spirit Mountain, is a culturally and biologically rich region of the Mojave Desert. It’s important to local Indigenous communities and critical habitat for the desert tortoise. The world’s largest and oldest Joshua trees are here as well -- some over 900 years old.

But greedy developers are threatening to tear apart the landscape for profit! President Biden must take immediate action to PROTECT Avi Kwa Ame -- every day we wait is more opportunity for developers to DESTROY Avi Kwa Ame and its surrounding lands. Support the tribal groups calling on President Biden to declare Avi Kwa Ame a National Monument. Please, Friend, send a message to President Biden by 11:59pm TONIGHT! >>

Avi Kwa Ame is a designated Traditional Cultural Property on the National Register of Historic Places. As a source of life for 10 Yuman-speaking tribes, a culturally significant place for the Hopi and Chemehuevi Paiute people, and critical wildlife habitat, there are no shortage of reasons why these lands must be protected. But we’re running out of time!

Our public lands are constantly under siege by greedy developers. Making Avi Kwa Ame a National Monument will give its land and resources the same protections we give to our National Parks. But we need 57 more people from your city to help us convince President Biden to protect Avi Kwa Ame. Help protect Avi Kwa Ame from greedy developers who scar land for profit! Send your message now!
