Friend, for more than a century, the Antiquities Act has protected our most cherished places: Grand Canyon, Bears Ears, Stonewall, and over 150 more.
|
Now, those protections are at risk like never before. A dangerous bill—S.220/H.R.521—would repeal the Antiquities Act entirely. And a recently released Department of Justice memo opened the door for presidents to unilaterally revoke national monument designations—putting millions of acres of protected public lands in jeopardy with a single stroke of the pen.
We can’t let this happen.
Call on Congress to defend the places that belong to all of us. |
This fight isn’t just about legal authority—it’s about the places we love, the communities that rely on them, and our shared responsibility to future generations.
National monuments protect our natural wonders, cultural heritage, and outdoor spaces. Our public lands drive a $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy and reflect the stories of all Americans.
Congress should be working to strengthen protections for public lands—not dismantle them.
Urge your members of Congress to defend our national monuments and preserve the Antiquities Act today.
Sincerely, |
