Tell the Senate to protect the Grand Canyon from the mining industry!

For decades, the Grand Canyon has been an iconic natural landscape for generations young and old to enjoy. But Trump wants to expose this historic site to a massive increase in uranium mining -- threatening our environment and communities.

Because of supporters like you, the House of Representatives passed a bill protecting the Grand Canyon from uranium mining forever. Now we're counting on you to ensure this bill passes in the Senate.

Dear Senator,

I am alarmed that the Senate has not acted to make permanent the temporary ban on uranium mining near the Grand Canyon.  Senator Kyrsten Sinema recently introduced S.3127 -- The Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act -- and I ask that you co-sponsor this critical legislation.

Despite a twenty-year ban enacted in 2012 to protect the Grand Canyon from future mining projects, this iconic landscape and local Indigenous communities continue to feel the devastating impacts of previous mining projects. Grand Canyon springs are already polluted by contaminated water from at least one abandoned mine and another mine that was reopened in 2009.

What’s more, water samples taken by the U.S. Geological Survey show that 15 springs and five wells within the Grand Canyon’s watershed contained dissolved uranium concentrations which exceed the standards for safe drinking water.

Moreover, local Indigenous tribes and an overwhelming majority of citizens want to protect the Grand Canyon’s springs and sacred waters from uranium pollution.

For the sake of our environment and the health of frontline communities, I implore you to support Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s permanent ban on uranium mining on lands near the Grand Canyon. Please  co-sponsor S.3127, The Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act

Thank you,
