Just now the U.S. Senate voted 50-49, passing H.J. Just now the U.S. Senate voted 50-49, passing H.J. Res. 140, which overturns a 20-year mining ban in the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota, the most visited wilderness area in America. 

Another iconic landscape—Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah—faces a similar threat using the same nefarious legislative tool: the Congressional Review Act (CRA). 

Above is a statement from SUWA Executive Director Scott Braden. For continuing updates on the Boundary Waters, follow: @savethebwca

🚨Tell the BLM to keep greater Chaco Canyon Protect 🚨Tell the BLM to keep greater Chaco Canyon Protected!

After decades of advocacy by Tribal Nations and conservationists, federal protections in the Greater Chaco Region were finally put in place in 2023 with the establishment of a 10-mile buffer zone shielding the Chaco Culture National Historical Park from new oil and gas leasing. But a new Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposal could undo all of that and bring drill rigs to the doorstep of Chaco Canyon—a sacred place to the Pueblo peoples and Tribes across the Southwest.

Comments are due on Tuesday, April 7 (tomorrow). We encourage you to make your voice heard by using the advocacy action from our friends at @nmwilderness. Link in bio.
