While it may feel like we’re constantly on the def While it may feel like we’re constantly on the defensive in this current political climate, SUWA continues to build meaningful relationships with Tribal Nations and broaden the base of support for protecting the redrock.

America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, which would protect more than 8 million acres of federal public land in Utah, is sponsored by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-01); so far this Congress it has 18 cosponsors in the Senate and 65 in the House.
