EARTH DAY ALERT 🚨 5X to protect Grand Staircase-Escalante

Our 5X match starts NOW.

Earth Day Goal:  $375,000 Match: ALL GIFTS MATCHED 5X, up to $375,000 Deadline: Midnight, April 22   DONATE NOW   Momoko, Earth Day should be a moment to celebrate the story of our planet—and few places tell that story more vividly than the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. But right now, this sweeping landscape's colorful cliffs, ancient fossils and important cultural artifacts are under attack. Utah's Senator Mike Lee and Representative Celeste Maloy are trying to overturn the monument's management plan, which was built atop years of scientific research, public comment and work with Tribal Nations. If this unprecedented maneuver is successful, it wouldn't just weaken protections for Grand Staircase-Escalante and remove barriers to drilling and mining—it would set a dangerous precedent that could be used to attack national monuments and parks across the country. Rush an emergency gift to help protect Grand Staircase-Escalante and all public lands under threat and it will be MATCHED 5X >> Grand Staircase-Escalante's stunning vistas provide a window into the Earth's history. Its canyons hold ancient fossils that help us understand the age of the dinosaurs, while its sandstone walls preserve petroglyphs and cultural artifacts created by Indigenous peoples thousands of years ago. It's one of the most extraordinary places on Earth—and if we don't act now, future generations could lose it forever to industrial destruction. Starting now, a generous donor will match every Earth Day gift FIVE TIMES, up to our $375,000 goal. Will you stand up for cherished wild places this Earth Day and rush a gift to power our defense of Grand Staircase-Escalante and threatened public lands nationwide?
