🚨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.

Over 125 local, state, and national groups are cal Over 125 local, state, and national groups are calling on Congressional Leadership to oppose attacks on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah through use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). 

From the coalition letter: “The CRA was never meant to be a blunt instrument to attack public lands, including national monuments. Employing it this way will destabilize land management nationwide, erode public trust, and throw collaboration and long-range planning for public lands into chaos. We urge you to reject resolutions of disapproval that target the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Management Plan and to stand with Tribal Nations, Western communities, and Americans of all political backgrounds who want these lands protected, well managed, and secure for generations to come.”

We recently partnered with the crazy talented @sam We recently partnered with the crazy talented @samanthazim.art to create these beautiful paintings of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Samantha got to go down to the monument and stay at @bouldermountainlodgeutah to sketch these pieces while out on the land.

The idea behind this project was to bring the beauty of the land to offices in DC. These prints were dropped on The Hill last week to House reps to inspire them to VOTE NO on the joint resolutions that attack the monument plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante.
