President Biden has a unique opportunity to permanently protect landscapes and historical and cultural sites that tell the diverse stories of our nation. Across the country, Tribes, local elected officials, civil rights leaders, local businesses, faith leaders, veterans, and community members are calling on President Biden to designate new national monuments.
Places with strong local support and leadership include:
- Bahsahwahbee (Eastern Nevada)
- Black Wall Street (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
- Blake Plateau (Southeast U.S. – North Atlantic Ocean)
- Dolores River Canyon Country (Colorado)
- Great Bend of the Gila (Arizona)
- Kw’tsán (Southern California)
- Owyhee Canyonlands (Oregon)
- Chuckwalla (Southern California)
- Rosenwald Schools (Nationwide)
- Sáttítla (Northern California)
Take action to urge President Biden to designate these national monuments that will together help safeguard sacred Tribal lands; honor our history and recognize sites of violence and oppression so that we can learn from our past and support opportunities for healing; protect the historical, cultural, and ecological values of these lands; and expand equitable access to the outdoors for local communities.
