In April, when this administration first announced

In April, when this administration first announced they wanted to open the Greater Chaco Canyon region in New Mexico to oil and gas drilling we asked you to speak up— thank you to everyone who did. Even after receiving 100,000 comments opposing these rollbacks, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is considering two options— revoking protections entirely or shrinking the current protection buffer to just 5 miles, both of which are both unacceptable.

In either scenario, thousands of cultural sites would be exposed to drilling. Indigenous communities already living with the health impacts of over 37,000 nearby wells would face even more industrial development at their doorstep.

Comments are due on Wednesday, July 29. We encourage you to make your voice heard by using the advocacy action from our friends at @nmwilderness:

Last Monday, over 1000 people showed up for the Monumental Day of Action across Utah. Thank you for standing up for national monuments! And a special thanks to all of our partners for making it happen.

We are just getting started, follow @protectwildutah to stay tuned for what's next.

Join us TODAY for the Monumental Day of Action! Swipe to see details for the city nearest you.

Not in Utah? You can still join us in solidarity as we protest Trump's action to slash nearly three million acres of protections for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Post a photo of you in one of the monuments or take a photo holding a sign of support, sharing your story and why you want to see National Monuments protected. Post to social and tag your congress members!

Most importantly, encourage folks to follow the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition (@bearsearscoalition) and the Grand Staircase-Escalante Inter-Tribal Coalition (@grandstaircasecoalition) to show solidarity with the Tribes who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial.

Slight change of plans. We've cancelled the event

Slight change of plans. We've cancelled the event in Bountiful due to some unexpected planning hiccups, but have added an event in Ogden.

For those of you who haven't heard, we are hosting a Monumental Statewide Day of Action this Monday! Bring your friends, a sign (we’ll provide some too), and be ready to raise your voice against the Utah politicians who supported Trump's actions—reducing both Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.

Note: SUWA advocates strongly for protecting Utah’s wild lands with strategies that meaningfully engage all cultures and abilities. We do so respectfully and firmly and we act within the law. We do not condone violence or destruction of property.

Join us on Monday in the town nearest you! See you then.

📣Join us this Monday, July 20 for a Monumental Statewide Day of Action! Bring a friend, a sign (we’ll provide some too), and be ready to raise your voice against the Utah politicians who supported Trump's actions—reducing both Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments by 90%.

*Note: we have canceled the Bountiful location and instead will be meeting in Ogden.

We'll be hosting events in Salt Lake, Provo, St. George and Moab. If you live in a town not listed and want to host your own pop-up protest, email Mimi at mimi@suwa.org and we'll provide a toolkit.

See you Monday! #protectwildutah
