On Tuesday, US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan

On Tuesday, US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan issued an order granting SUWA and other conservation groups’ request to reopen the case and lift the stay that was in place regarding 2017 litigation over President Trumps’ illegal reductions of Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments. Today, during a status conference, the Judge ordered the parties to agree on a briefing schedule and to confer on her current notice order requiring the federal government to give plaintiffs 48 hours advance notice of surface disturbing activities on the lands cut from the national monuments.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day! Let this day be a reminder that the lands we work to protect are the ancestral homelands of many Indigenous Peoples and Tribal Nations. We do this work to ensure these lands remain protected now and for many generations in the future.

To honor this day, be sure to follow and uplift pages like @bearsearscoalition and @grandstaircasecoalition!

As we head into the long weekend in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day, let's take a moment to recognize that recent polling shows overwhelming support among Utah voters for Native American Tribes to play a strong role in managing public lands that hold sacred and cultural significance.

Today the Nine Mile Canyon Coalition, Southern Uta

Today the Nine Mile Canyon Coalition, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and Center for Biological Diversity sued the Trump administration’s Bureau of Land Management for approving construction of a highway through Utah’s scenic, culturally and historically significant Gate Canyon in eastern Utah.

The project would straighten 6 miles of what is currently a scenic, winding, gravel road and involves the blasting and destruction of 100-foot tall canyon walls, damaging Native rock imagery, Utah history, and habitat for threatened wildlife.

Gate Canyon feeds into Nine Mile Canyon — a world-renowned archaeological area that contains more than 10,000 unique, irreplaceable cultural, historical and archaeological resources. The proposed route of the highway, designed to accommodate 70-foot oil tankers, cuts directly through the rugged landscape and will fundamentally alter the character of Gate Canyon (see last slide for rendering).
