Major news! President Biden expanded two national monuments, significantly enhancing local recreational access and protecting communities, lands, and ecosystems. This news brings momentum
to our movement to create new national monuments and parks across the country, including:
* Dolores Canyon in Colorado
* Owyhee Canyonlands in Oregon
* Bahsahwahbee in Nevada
* Great Bend of the Gila in Arizona
* And so many more throughout the country!
Will you thank the President for safeguarding our public lands and urge him to continue these crucial environmental protections? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=3609c1329cd4dccba77626feb85734

Read on below to find out more about these expanded National Monuments! 🔽
Dear John,
What a day to be part of this incredible movement! Thanks to years of local advocacy and over 10,000 Sierra Club supporters like you we just won BIG in California with the recent expansions
of the San Gabriel Mountains and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments.
We're thrilled to share this moment with Tribes, local leaders, community advocates, and supporters like you from across California and the country. Together, we've protected vital habitat
and water sources, precious landscapes and cultural resources, and are growing our state's climate resilience by preserving nature. This victory is not just about the land; it's about
our commitment to preserving and enjoying it.
Let's maintain momentum and urge President Biden to continue leading conservation efforts by designating more monuments in California and across the nation!

The inclusion of Molok Luyuk (pronounced "Ma.lok/ Lue.yoke") within the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument honors the landscape's deep sacredness to the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation.
This expansion not only strengthens ties with Indigenous connections through Tribal co-stewardship for these cherished lands but also enhances biodiversity by safeguarding critical
habitats for species like the majestic condor, tule elk, and mountain lions, aiding their adaptation to climate change.
Additionally, extending the monument boosts outdoor recreation in Northern California, enriching activities like hiking, picnicking, and wildlife watching. This increase in accessible
natural spaces draws more visitors, further enriching our regional heritage and deepening the community's connection with the natural world.

Mountains National Monument
Down south, expanding the San Gabriel Mountains Monument creates more access to nature for local communities in the Los Angeles region, especially Latino and low-income communities who
have historically had limited access to green spaces. This change will ensure more Angelenos can experience the physical and mental benefits of accessing nature.
The San Gabriels expansion also protects key habitats and travel routes for local wildlife, including black bears and mountain lions. It also secures crucial water sources that a third
of the county relies on for drinking water, benefiting both our environment and our communities.
The expansion of our national monuments benefits everyone! Sending thank you messages to the Biden administration helps us build momentum that will lead to more successes like this!
Send your thanks now! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=3609c1329cd4dccb230b704d0f7fd2f05217a8f938c8189be10230560149d2394f350ec1a38e0a89f4e7eebdc146c4061ce75e35247c840330642c3ab1a389a2>
Your support leads to tangible victories. When we unite our voices, we affect change not only in California but nationwide. Let's use this win as a springboard to secure further protections
for our cherished landscapes and historic sites. Many areas across the country, like the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument near Joshua Tree National Park in California or the site
of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot in Illinois, would benefit significantly from national monument status. Unlike national parks, which require Congressional designation, the President
can also establish and expand monuments under the 1906 Antiquities Act.
That's why we need your help to urge President Biden to continue creating National Monuments throughout this term. Every comment, call, and conversation makes a difference.
Let's not stop here -- there's so much more we can accomplish together!
Thank you for all that you do. Your passion and persistence drive this movement forward. Let's continue to celebrate each success and strive for even greater achievements.
With gratitude,
Jenny Binstock
