Sacred to WHOM: a cool Progressive secretary letter EXCEPT for.

RantWoman's first question about the Progresive Secretary solicitation which appears below: Where are the PEOPLE? Sacred to WHOM? The cactus and environement are nice of course but sacred to whom?


RantWoman had to poke through two layers of links to find:

Tribe one step closer to protection of sacred site

And a related one

Nevada Groups MusteringSupport for proposed national monument

Would RantWoman have bothered to go look further if the pitch below had spent maybe 25 words answering RantWoman's Sacred to Whom question. Uhhhh, Hard to say/ May be this item is just one of those things that RantWoman is supposed to post to see whether others are interested enough to sign up for their own email from Progressive Secretary.


(Please note: RantWoman's post construction technique sometimes consists of select something interesting, copy and paste. RantWoman is aware this sometimes produces results that are easily readable by screen readers but less than visually esthetic. )

Dear (RantWoman)

Here is a REMINDER about a recent Progressive Secretary action alert.

This letter supports a campaign by the League of Conservation Voters. It asks Congress, the President, Vice President, and Secretary of the Interior Haaland to make Avi Kwa Ame (Spirit Mountain) a national monument.

The following organizations also support this action:  Fort Mohave Tribe (Pipa Aha Macav, People by the River), the National Parks Conservation Association, Basin and Range Watch, Conservation Lands Foundation, and the Sierra Club.

We will send your email message to your senators, House member, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland.
.

Our next national monument should be Avi Kwa Ame, Mojave for “Spirit Mountain.” It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and holds immense ecological, historical, and cultural value.

The Avi Kwa Ame National Monument includes the eastern portion of the world’s largest Joshua tree forest, with trees over 900 years old. This complex natural system protects endangered species and defends against climate disruption. Designating the area as a monument would invite more people to enjoy public lands and approach our goal to preserve 30% of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030.

Please safeguard the cultural, recreational, ecological, and economic value of Spirit Mountain for generations to come. Make Avi Kwa Ame our next national monument.

Kathie Turner, Executive Director
