Here are some of the beautiful places under threat that your membership can help protect: - Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, Arizona: This monument protects cultural sites, drinking water and incredible biodiversity in lands surrounding the Grand Canyon, but it now faces attacks that would abolish protections and open the door to uranium mining. Give before March 31 and your support will go 3X as far to defend sacred Tribal lands and waters >>
- The Ruby Mountains, Nevada: Known as Nevada's "Swiss Alps," the Ruby Mountains is the ancestral homeland of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone Indians and provides critical habitat for mule deer, bighorn sheep and other wildlife. Oil and gas leasing proposals have repeatedly targeted this fragile landscape. Your tripled gift helps keep drilling out of this iconic backcountry >>
- The Greater Chaco Region, New Mexico: Home to thousands of cultural and archaeological sites and sacred to the Pueblo, Hopi and other Indigenous peoples, Greater Chaco continues to face the fossil fuel industry's relentless attempts to drill these lands—and the Trump administration recently announced it's considering revoking the 20-year ban on oil and gas development. Strong protections are essential to safeguard the region's communities and their irreplaceable cultural heritage. Triple your impact to defend Chaco >>
- The Northern Red Desert and Big Sandy Foothills, Wyoming: This vast landscape includes areas of cultural importance for many tribes in the region and supports mule deer migrations and sage-grouse habitat. The administration recently reopened the region's resource management plan, raising concerns they will weaken vital protections and open the door to drilling. Give before March 31 and your gift will go three times as far to protect Wyoming's wildlands >>
These landscapes belong to all of us—not just the wealthy and powerful. Allowing corporate polluters unfettered access to drill, mine and exploit them is a betrayal of our right to hike, camp, fish and explore extraordinary places we all share. But to keep them safe, open and free for future generations to enjoy, we need to take action now. We have just hours left to hit our $375,000 goal before our March 31 deadline. If everyone reading this email right now pitched in, we could hit that deadline and strengthen our fight—in communities, in courtrooms and in the halls of Congress. Make your TRIPLE-MATCHED gift before midnight tomorrow and help ensure these landscapes remain protected for generations to come. We're counting on you, Momoko.
