Protecting Our Legacy, Strengthening Our Future
For generations, national monuments have stood as guardians of our water, wildlife, and ways of life, preserving the beauty and history that define us. These sacred landscapes and treasured sites reflect the diversity of cultures, communities, and ecosystems that have shaped our nation. They tell stories of resilience, honor, and connection — stories that are deeply woven into the fabric of America.
Since 1906, the Antiquities Act has empowered presidents from both parties to protect these invaluable places, ensuring that they remain intact for future generations. This essential tool has safeguarded sites of historical, cultural, and natural significance, allowing us to honor the past while creating opportunities for learning, reflection, and inspiration.
But these protections are not guaranteed. As threats to our public lands grow, we must take action to ensure these irreplaceable places remain protected. By standing with local communities and amplifying their voices, we can urge members of Congress to preserve our national monuments and uphold the Antiquities Act. Together, we can protect these lands and stories so they continue to inspire and unite us for generations to come.
Take a stand for the protection of our national monuments and sacred lands.

From #BearsEars to the #StatueofLiberty, to #CésarCháveznationalmonument, an equal number of Republican & Democratic presidents have protected #NationalMonuments that reflect America’s natural heritage. It’s time for @POTUS to designate more national monuments. #MonumentsForAll
The #AntiquitiesAct is as bipartisan as can be. 18 presidents – nine Democratic & nine Republican – have established or expanded over 160 #nationalmonuments using the act. From President Hoover to now, presidents have protected cultural & biologically important landscapes.
