Whether it’s a data center or another development, this land is so special and sacred to so many people.
Protections for Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears have been rolled back through recent actions supported by President Trump, Spencer Cox, Mike Lee, and Celeste Maloy.
WAKE UP, AMERICA. Our public lands are under increasing pressure from development and political decisions driven by powerful interests. In other words, GREED.
WHAT CAN WE DO? GET LOUD.
Call and email your senators and representatives. Show up at public meetings. Submit public comments when they’re accepted. Support organizations fighting to protect these landscapes. Share what’s happening, educate others, and don’t stay silent.
There are more of us than the people making these decisions. We need to remember that our voices matter when we use them together.
UNITED WE STAND. Together, we protect our sacred public lands.

As someone who deeply values the beauty and cultural importance of our public lands, I've witnessed firsthand the increasing threats posed by development projects and policy rollbacks. The Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears areas are not just stretches of land; they are sacred spaces rich with natural wonder and Native American heritage. When protections for these areas are reduced, it doesn't just affect the environment—it impacts communities and history that have been preserved for generations. One important way to make a difference is to actively engage with your local and national representatives. Calling, emailing, and attending public meetings puts direct pressure on decision-makers. I've personally found that submitting public comments during open comment periods can be surprisingly impactful if enough voices rally together. Organizations dedicated to conservation also offer an excellent avenue for support—whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading awareness. Sharing information with friends and on social media helps amplify the cause. Greed-driven development projects threaten not only the ecosystem but also our collective identity connected to the land. By uniting our voices, we remind those in power that public lands are held in trust for future generations, and their protection is a shared responsibility. If you’re looking to take immediate action, look for petitions and advocacy groups focused on Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears. Participating in community events or even organizing local meetups can strengthen the movement. Remember, every message and every action counts—when we GET LOUD together, we stand a much better chance of preserving these irreplaceable public treasures.
