Defending National Monuments and Public Lands - Day of Action!
Saturday, June 7 - Save the Date
On Saturday, June 7, ahead of the 119th anniversary of the Antiquities Act (June 8, 1906), communities across the country, particularly in states with national monuments in the Trump administration’s cross-hairs, will unite to show support for all monuments, parks and public lands. Advocates will gather at national monuments and other beloved public lands, raising their voices peacefully with photos, signs, and solidarity.
In April, The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration has a short list of six national monuments they’re considering slashing: Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon (AZ), Ironwood Forest (AZ), Chuckwalla (CA), Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks (NM), Bears Ears (UT) and Grand Staircase-Escalante (UT).
Public land advocates have a narrow window to push back and protect these and other places. In 2017, Trump led the largest rollback of public land protections in history, slashing Utah’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by 85 and 47 percent, respectively. In response, nearly 3 million Americans rose up in protest. Let’s build a loud community of public land defenders across the country. Let the Trump administration know that these places are for the people - not billionaires or corporate polluters.
