Scroll through social media, flip through TV channels, or click through online news and you鈥檒l sense it: The country is divided, the discourse charged. And yet, even in this fractured moment, there are powerful points of unity that show us a way forward.

One of the clearest? Public land protection. It has broad, diverse support thanks to the benefits these spaces offer鈥攐utdoor recreation, economic opportunities, and the historic, cultural, and spiritual connections Indigenous Peoples have to these lands.

We need only look to Arizona, a key battleground state and home to 22 federally recognized Indigenous nations and sacred lands like Baaj Nwaavjo I鈥檛ah Kukveni 鈥� Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, to see how public lands continue to unite people 鈥� even in a contentious political environment.

Some 9 in 10 of voters across the political spectrum support public land protections 鈥� including nearly all of the 52% of Arizonans who voted for Trump 鈥� and 87% agree that Native American tribes should play a central role in protecting and managing ancestral lands. Even more telling is that 88% support allowing presidents from either party to designate public lands as national monuments.

That鈥檚 not just a consensus. It鈥檚 a mandate.

Yet the Trump administration is charging in the opposite direction.

From day one, we鈥檝e seen executive actions targeting our parks, monuments, and the agencies that manage them 鈥� greenlighting oil and gas drilling, increasing logging in national forests, and threatening funding for the very people who steward these public lands.

These actions defy the will of Arizona voters. They reflect a larger strategy from Trump and his 鈥渆nergy dominance鈥� allies 鈥� like Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen鈥攖o open up public lands to exploitation, gut environmental protections, and enrich their corporate friends. They think they can get away with it. But they鈥檙e wrong.

Fortunately, Arizona U.S. Senators Mark Kelly and Rub茅n Gallego are listening and understand that the desire to protect public lands like Baaj Nwaavjo I鈥檛ah Kukveni transcends party lines.

Still, they can鈥檛 do it alone. Which is why we call on Representative Juan Ciscomani to publicly join us in calling for the continued protection of Baaj Nwaavjo I鈥檛ah Kukveni. We鈥檙e encouraged that he recently opposed language in the federal reconciliation bill that would allow public lands in his district to be sold for private development. That matters. And we need more.

During my work in grassroots advocacy 鈥� fighting for climate justice and environmental protections 鈥� I鈥檝e learned that real change happens when communities come together with courage and hold elected leaders accountable. That鈥檚 how we build a just, sustainable future.

It starts by uniting behind our shared values. Two-thirds of Arizona voters from both parties oppose rolling back national monument protections. They stand as Earth Protectors alongside our Indigenous relatives who led the fight to designate Baaj Nwaavjo I鈥檛ah Kukveni as a national monument.

As a Latina voter and an Earth Protector, I consider it my civic duty to ensure that our representatives from the White House to the State House bring forth community-oriented solutions that protect our rights to clean air and water, foster healthy neighborhoods, protect our public lands, and ensure a safe climate for generations to come.

I know things feel overwhelming right now, and it鈥檚 easy to feel powerless. But now is when your voice is needed the most. Now is when we need to reaffirm the mandate on public land protections and honor tribal sovereignty.

I call on the people of Arizona to join me in sending a loud, clear, and united message to President Trump and his administration: Our land is not for sale.
