Today, the US Senate Committee on Energy and Natur

Today, the US Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a hearing to consider the nomination of former North Dakota Governor, Doug Burgum to serve as Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior. Below is a quote from SUWA Legislative Advocate, Lauren Hainsworth.

“Management of federal public lands in Utah requires a thoughtful, balanced approach, but during today’s hearing Governor Burgum made it clear that if confirmed, the scales will be wildly tipped in favor of extractive industry and fossil fuels. Utah’s red rock country and wildest places are national treasures and should be conserved, not exploited. We encourage the Senate to reject Governor Burgum’s nomination.” —Lauren Hainsworth

Additional information:
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is a Cabinet-level Department that manages America’s vast natural and cultural resources. Employing over 70,000 people, DOI has 11 Bureaus, including the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In Utah, the BLM manages 22.8 million acres of public lands, ranging from “spectacular red-rock canyons and roaring rivers to high mountain peaks and expansive salt flats” including Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monument.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up at the

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up at the Public Lands Rally today!! If you weren't able to attend and live in Utah, you can still speak up by TAKING ACTION NOW, and telling Governor Cox to stop his attacks on public lands! Whether it’s the State’s attempted Land Grab Lawsuit, attacks on Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments, or supporting the Northern Corridor Highway, Governor Cox is anti-public-lands, over and over again. It’s time for him and his administration to proactively support clean air, clear water, and common-sense conservation efforts. Please join us in calling on him to stop his attacks on public lands! Link in bio.

SWIPE If you live outside of Utah, you can take action too! Tell your Governor to support protected public lands. It’s a scary time for federal public lands across the U.S.—they’re under attack from hostile state legislators and governors, as well as elected officials at the federal level, including incoming President Trump. These public lands—places that we love and cherish, that sustain us, and that are the source of so much hope and inspiration—are worth fighting for! Please take action TODAY and let your Governor know that you support protected public lands. Link in bio.
