This is huge, Da \u2014 in a vote of 227-200, the House has just officially passed a package of eight major public lands bills.<\/strong>

What happens next is up to us \u2014 the package is poised for a vote in the Senate. With the chamber split 50-50, any vote we get through is going to have razor-thin margins. This could move quickly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>We’re asking for your help to help get these bills passed. Help fund our campaign \u2014 every contribution is being triple matched right now.<\/strong>

The package \u2014 called the Protecting America’s Wilderness and Public Lands Act \u2014 could permanently protect millions and millions of acres of public land and rivers around the country.<\/strong>

Included in the package is a bill that would protect more than 1 million acres of federal land around the Grand Canyon.\u00a0This is an urgent fix. During the Obama administration, the Interior Department banned new uranium mining claims, but the policy was temporary and constantly under threat from the Trump administration.<\/strong>

This bill would permanently block efforts to expand uranium mining.\u00a0The Havasupai Tribe has fought for this tooth and nail \u2014 these mining efforts are a grave threat to its primary water source.<\/strong>

Da \u2014 this is a moment for the environmental movement to show up in a major way. We need to get this through the Senate.\u00a0That means flooding Senate offices with calls and letters. It means campaigning like hell between now and the vote.<\/strong>

That’s only going to happen with your help. We’ve set a goal of raising $50,000 \u2014 and a group of donors has agreed to triple match every contribution before midnight on Sunday.<\/strong>

<\/a>Will you pitch in today? Triple your impact \u00bb<\/strong>

These are some of the most important environmental bills to hit the floor this session. It’s not just about protecting the Grand Canyon \u2014 it protects 1.49 million acres of land as wilderness and more than 1,000 miles of wild rivers.<\/strong>

This isn’t going to be easy \u2014 we’re already up against massive opposition from oil-backed lawmakers. This bill is following up on an executive order from President Biden pausing all oil and gas leasing on public lands to allow for a top-to-bottom review of the rigged leasing system.<\/strong>

The oil and gas industry is already ramping up massive PR efforts, launching lawsuits, and aggressively lobbying Congress.<\/strong>

But this is a shot \u2014 a real shot \u2014 at protecting vast swaths of public land. We have to give it everything we have.\u00a0That’s only going to happen with your help, Da.<\/strong>

<\/a>Please, pitch in before Sunday’s deadline. Triple your impact today \u00bb<\/strong>

I know you won’t sit this one out. Thanks for all you do today and every day.<\/strong>

Onward,<\/strong>
