Looking to spend less time on your phone? Perhaps Looking to spend less time on your phone? Perhaps you're a Utahn and sick of your representatives not listening to you?  Here are some additional ways to participate in the #protectwildutah movement:
--Get creative with it! Create some art or share a piece you already have to be used in an interactive map for Grand Staircase-Escalante. This can range from short stories of your experience on the monument, to quick sketches, to your fav photographs! Email files to loveforgse@suwa.org.
--Join a stewardship project this April and get out on the land! We have tons of awesome projects coming up, check the deets at: suwa.org/projectcalendar
¡El senador Mike Lee (R-UT) y la representante Cel ¡El senador Mike Lee (R-UT) y la representante Celeste Maloy (R-UT-02) han iniciado formalmente el proceso para agilizar la destrucción del Monumento Nacional Grand Staircase-Escalante! El 4 de marzo presentaron resoluciones conjuntas (JR) en el congreso para revocar el Plan de Manejo del Monumento.

Por favor, comunícate hoy mismo con tus miembros del Congreso (Cámara de Representantes y Senado) y pídales que voten NO a estas resoluciones: https://suwa.quorum.us/campaign/154758/
Rep. Maloy’s office has been sharing a wildly misl Rep. Maloy’s office has been sharing a wildly misleading “fact sheet” across Capitol Hill on her attempts to use the CRA. To get a more detailed look at the real facts, visit suwa.org or link in bio.
Our Stewardship Program is looking for organized g Our Stewardship Program is looking for organized groups, student clubs and classes, alternative break programs, independent associations and more to invite on our 2026 slate of volunteer projects on public lands in Utah. We invite you to learn more about the places—and issues—most affecting our precious wild places through direct, hands-on experience.

Scholarships are available by need. Our team works hard to match your group with the right experience. Consider joining SUWA in the field in 2026. Start by reviewing our calendar of events at suwa.org/projectcalendar—where you can also learn more about our program.

If you have any questions, contact our team directly at volunteer@suwa.org.

Projects begin this week and continue through November. We would love for you to join us! #protectwildutah
On Wednesday, Utah Senator Mike Lee and Representa On Wednesday, Utah Senator Mike Lee and Representative Celeste Maloy introduced House Joint Resolution 151 and Senate Joint Resolution 109 under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to undo the current Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan. 

If successful, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is similar in the future. This would be a devastating blow to the monument on the ground and set a dangerous precedent for public lands across the nation.

--Share out on social media!

Please contact your members of Congress today (House & Senate) and ask them to vote NO on the joint resolutions!
