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/

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.

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.

Please contact your members of Congress today (House & Senate) and ask them to vote NO on the joint resolutions!
Today, the elected officials behind 2025’s failed Today, the elected officials behind 2025’s failed public lands sell-off attempts - Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT-02)— introduced a joint resolution to undo the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). 

If both chambers of Congress pass the measure by simple majority votes, the plan—which sets expectations for how these remarkable public lands will be managed—will be undone and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is “substantially the same” in the future.

This assault on a national monument marks a significant escalation in Congress’ use of the CRA. To read further, visit link in bio. #protectwildutah
