URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Sign to help expand a national monument to protect public lands and drinking water for millions of people! >> Add your name now! The San Gabriel Mountains offer access to nature for millions of people wanting to escape the chaos and claustrophobia of city life in Los Angeles County. After a long week of concrete grids, endless car honking, and stuffy air, wouldn't you want an escape to grab fresh air and a clear mind? The mountains are also home to the Angeles National Forest, which provides drinking water to ONE-THIRD of the county's residents – but large parts of this critical green space are still unprotected from greedy developers. Friend, sign the petition asking President Biden to EXPAND the San Gabriel Mountain National Monument to protect drinking water for millions of people! >> *2,120 more signatures needed* The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians and Gabrieleño Peoples' stories are a part of the rich history of the San Gabriel Mountains. Monument expansion would further protect the prehistoric archeological, cultural, and historic sites of the traditional stewards of these lands. It was President Obama in 2014 who first designated hundreds of thousands of acres of the San Gabriel Mountains as a national monument. But critical lands were left out of this designation – and now it's up to President Biden to complete this legacy and issue permanent protection to the entire mountain and forest region – that's why we need your help! Will you protect public lands and their historical importance from greedy developers? Send your message to President Biden now! Standing with you,
