27 national monuments under threat

Kathleen- 27 national monuments are at risk of losing their protections and being opened up to drilling, mining, and fracking! Send a public comment today to protect national monuments from Trump! Trump recently released an executive order that puts nearly 30 beloved national monuments under threat — national treasures that range from the awe-inspiring Giant Sequoia in California, to the underwater Papahanaumokuakea monument in Hawaii, to the Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah.  This new careless action by Trump demands that the Department of Interior "review" dozens of our country's national monuments, public lands, and waters — putting these incredible places at risk of losing their protections and being opened up to drilling, mining, and fracking. By potentially rolling back safeguards for currently-protected lands and waters, Trump has signaled yet again he is interested in carving up this beautiful country into as many corporate giveaways for the oil and gas industry as possible. But we won't let this happen. It's up to us to raise our voices and demand that the Interior Department protect national monuments and public lands and waters!    Submit a public comment today to protect the country's national monuments. Comments must be submitted before July 10, so don't delay!   Trump's executive order requires a review of all national monuments 100,000 acres or larger created or expanded since 1996 under the Antiquities Act. In addition to being ecological wonders, many of these protected places hold strong cultural importance to local and Indigenous communities and provide important economic benefits in the form of tourism and outdoor recreation, all of which could be ruined by fossil fuel extraction.   Leave it to Trump to take aim at an American tradition and principle that has bipartisan support and is beloved by communities across the country — our public lands, waters and monuments. But, even though Trump is attempting to jeopardize national treasures, the people who live, honor, work, and rely on these public lands and waters will ensure that he will not succeed. And I know you will do everything in your power to help stop Trump and his administration's disastrous policies.    Send the Interior Department a public comment today demanding it protects America's national monuments and public lands and waters.    Thank you,   Diana Best Senior Climate and Energy Campaigner, Greenpeace USA   P.S. The Department of Interior needs to listen to what the people want, not what Trump and greedy fossil fuel barons want. Submit your comment today demanding protection of America's national monuments!
