Protect our lands

To: Sen. Curtis, Rep. Moore, Sen. Lee

From: A constituent in Salt Lake City, UT

July 14

I am especially troubled that this decision was made without meaningful tribal consultation, reversing a landmark co-stewardship agreement that took years to build. Polling consistently shows the overwhelming majority of Utahns — nearly three-quarters — want these monuments kept intact. This action does not reflect the will of the people it claims to serve. I am asking you to: • Publicly oppose this rollback and support litigation challenging its legality • Cosponsor or support legislation to permanently protect Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante at their full boundaries • Insist on genuine, binding tribal consultation in any future decisions affecting these lands Our public lands are not a bargaining chip for short-term extraction. I urge you to stand on the side of conservation, tribal sovereignty, and the generations who will inherit these places after us.
