Take action today! Before the new, Democratically-

Take action today! Before the new, Democratically-controlled Congress arrives in January, Senate negotiators, led by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), are pushing forward permitting reform legislation that poses one of the most significant threats to America’s public lands, cultural heritage, Tribal sovereignty, and environmental protections in decades.

The deceptively-named Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would weaken bedrock environmental laws, limit public participation, fast-track development projects, and make it far more difficult to challenge harmful decisions affecting public lands.

Please contact your senators and urge them to oppose BAAJA today! A vote could happen as soon as Monday, Nov. 9. Use the link in our bio.

Last night the trajectory changed for the redrock

Last night the trajectory changed for the redrock wilderness. For the past two years we’ve been fighting for Utah’s wild places on three fronts: against a Republican-controlled Congress, against the president and his administration, and against the anti-public-lands state of Utah. Last night, when Democrats decisively took control of both the House and Senate, a new political reality emerged: one where wilderness and public lands will have champions in Congress with the power to deflect attacks from the administration.

The work ahead is hard. It will take many more hard years to restore Bear Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, to pass the Red Rock bill, and to protect Utah’s wild places. But SUWA is in it for the long haul, and we know that people like you—at the heart of the Protect Wild Utah movement across the country—are too.

Thank you for casting your vote. Thank you for entrusting us to do this work and for financially supporting us if you’re able. We’re deeply grateful. What we said after the 2024 election still rings true: “We can protect the places and values that matter. Together, we will.”

A new Senate bill, the American Affordability and

A new Senate bill, the American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 (BAAJA), could move forward as soon as November 9. While it's being promoted as a jobs and affordability measure, it could have major consequences for public lands and some of Utah's wildest places.

The bill undermines Tribal sovereignty and rewrites provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act that would restrict what is considered an important cultural site, and make consultation with Tribes and communities optional. This bill also fast-tracks data center proposals on public lands—proposals like Project Beehive in Carbon County, Utah and many more awful things.

📣 Tell the Forest Service to follow the Bears Ears

📣 Tell the Forest Service to follow the Bears Ears Plan for Babylon fire recovery! 🌲 (link in bio)

In late June, the Babylon Fire burned roughly 107,000 acres of the Elk Ridge landscape west of Monticello, Utah. This is the high country above Dark Canyon Wilderness, lying almost entirely within Bears Ears National Monument. Helping this landscape recover should mean protecting its cultural sites, fragile soils, streams, and wildlife.

The Forest Service is accepting public comments through Tuesday, November 3. Please tell the agency to follow the Bears Ears plan, meaningfully involve Tribes, and put ecological recovery ahead of commercial logging!
