🚨 ACTION ALERT! 🚨 Surprise, surprise—Senator Mike 🚨 ACTION ALERT! 🚨

Surprise, surprise—Senator Mike Lee wants to fast track the destruction of Bears Ears National Monument. He is scheming to use the Congressional Review Act to get rid of the existing management plan for this incredible living landscape.

Sound familiar? Earlier this year, Senator Lee and Rep. Celeste Maloy used this same mechanism in an attempt to overturn the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan. Their plan ultimately failed because people like YOU spoke up!

TAKE ACTION NOW! And Urge your members of Congress to speak out against Lee's attack on Bears Ears at link in bio.
This week, at the behest of Senator Mike Lee, the This week, at the behest of Senator Mike Lee, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released an opinion that the Bears Ears National Monument land-use plan is subject to the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

The plan, finalized in 2025 was historic in that it was developed through a collaborative process involving the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bears Ears Commission.

This path paves the way for Lee and the rest of the Utah delegation to introduce fast-track legislation that could topple Tribal collaborative management and speed up the destruction of the landscape.

Monday, following a formal appeal from the Souther Monday, following a formal appeal from the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) withdrew its decision approving 10 backcountry airstrips in the heart of Utah’s redrock country. 

These airstrips, many of which show no signs of recent use and none of which were designated for use, are scattered across some of the most remote and ecologically sensitive landscapes in southern Utah—including the Gemini Bridges/Labyrinth Canyon area and the remote backcountry immediately adjacent to Bears Ears National Monument.
