To President Obama and Secretary of Interior Jewell:

The Grand Canyon is one of the wonders of the world, not a tailing pond for toxic mine waste. Please protect the Grand Canyon from uranium mining forever by designating the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument as America’s next national monument.

Help celebrate the Grand Canyon's birthday!
