The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribal Council, the g The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe, voted on October 21, 2025, to support America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA). 

The resolution endorses congressional wilderness designation for lands within the Act, which would protect more than 8 million acres of federal public lands in Utah. 

This is the fourth tribal endorsement of ARRWA, following endorsements by the Zuni Tribe (2024), Hopi Tribe (2023), and Navajo Nation (2021).

📢 THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Grand Staircase-Escalante N 📢 THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is under attack. We’ve learned that Utah’s congressional delegation (Senators Lee & Curtis, Representatives Owens, Moore, Maloy, and Kennedy) are expected to introduce a “Joint Resolution” in Congress that, if passed, would undo the current Monument Management Plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante.

This would be a devastating blow to the monument, local businesses, wildlife and so much more. We cannot let this happen.

❗ACT NOW❗suwa.org/protectgrandstaircase

Please contact your members of Congress today (House & Senate) and ask them to vote NO on any joint resolution that seeks to undo the management plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument! 

For over 40 years, SUWA and the nationwide Protect Wild Utah movement have worked tirelessly to protect wilderness-quality lands, including this monument. That work continues, undeterred.  Thank you for standing with us at this critical moment.  #protectwildutah
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is und Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is under attack from Utah members of Congress. In July 2025, Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT-02) secretly requested an opinion from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about whether Congress can overturn the current Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument Management Plan—a maneuver that would upend the Monument’s management. Last week, the GAO released an opinion that Congress *can* interfere this way and undo the plan.

With GAO’s opinion in hand, Utah’s federal delegation (Senators Lee & Curtis, Representatives Owens, Moore, Maloy, and Kennedy) is expected to introduce a bill under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). If both chambers of Congress pass the bill, called a “resolution of disapproval” by simple majority votes, the Monument Management Plan will be eliminated and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be barred from issuing another plan that is “substantially the same” in the future. 

Introducing a bill to strike at the heart of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument will represent a clear escalation of use of the CRA to attack the nation’s wildest public lands. As the first CRA attack on a national monument, this action threatens to upend public land protection. 

Stay tuned on how to take action. See the full press release at the link in our bio. #protectwildutah #nationalmonument #gse #publiclands #act

This decision reverses a December 2024 rejection of the same proposal and marks the eighth time the controversial highway has been considered. The project has been halted on every previous attempt over concerns related to wildlife, public safety, legal compliance, and community opposition.
