DONATE MONTHLY Dear Adventurer, Breaking: The Trump administration is recommending lifting the ban on toxic uranium mining near the Grand Canyon. This ban would have protected the area for decades, but once again, Trump is putting billionaire Big Energy companies like the Koch Brothers first. I wish I could say I was shocked. But we're past that. All we can do now is fight back with everything we have. This is desperately urgent, Dave. We are working on the ground and in Congress to secure a permanent ban on dangerous uranium mining in this iconic area and we're not giving it up without a fight. And if it comes to it, WE WILL SEE THEM IN COURT. Please, make an emergency contribution right now. Donate to save the Grand Canyon region from toxic uranium mining with your emergency monthly gift NOW -- before this spectacular area is decimated by crushers and dotted with slurry pits. We have taken on Trump and his Big Energy backers before -- and we'll do it again. With your help, we'll mount an aggressive legal strategy, target key decision-makers and mobilize our 3 million supporters to save the Canyon and the Native Americans who have already suffered decades of environmental injustice. Please rush your gift now. Thank you, Michael Brune Executive Director Sierra Club P.S. -- If you've recently become a monthly donor, THANK YOU, we're still processing gifts. Photo: Kristen Caldon.
