Hello all,

 

Please consider signing the attached letter to House and Senate Dem leadership to support the following three public lands protections by opposing military base expansion in Nevada and to protect the lands around Grand Canyon National Park in the NDAA.

 

We ask that the NDAA protect the following public lands:

 

  1. Nevada Test and Training Range and the Desert National Wildlife Refuge - We support Representative Horsford’s amendment to the NDAA and the clean 20 or 25-year renewal for the existing Nevada Test and Training Range, as is currently found in the Senate and House passed NDAA.

 

  1. Fallon Range Training Complex and the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge - We stand with the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe and we support a clean 20 or 25-year renewal for the existing Fallon Range Training Complex, as is currently found in the Senate and House passed NDAA.

 

  1. Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act (H.R. 1373) – We support the House NDAA inclusion of H.R. 1373 to protect approximately one million acres of public lands around Grand Canyon National Park.

 

You can sign on via the google link: https://forms.gle/vgiRtr54XzDTcuLv7. The deadline is Wednesday, 11/25 at 2pm ET.

 

Thanks in advance,
