The Inflation Reduction Act makes the largest investment in the fight against the climate crisis in history. Watch my remarks from yesterday's Select Committee on the Climate Crisis hearing on the IRA 👇🏽
ICYMI: Natural Resources Democrats held a hearing on the Great Bend of the Gila Conservation Act, an important piece of legislation to protect an ecologically fragile landscape with incredibly rich cultural significance. “This clearly is an area that merits protection,” said Rep. Joe Neguse.

"Indigenous peoples were responsible for protecting an estimated 22% of the planet’s surface and 80% of biodiversity." Indigenous peoples have fought climate change for years. Their climate leadership is essential to save our planet. #IndigenousPeoplesDay carbonbrief.org/guest-post-an-…
“The designation of Camp Hale as a national monument sets the tone for what I hope will be a strong legacy of conservation left by President Donald J. Trump. Our hope is that #Castner4Ever will be one of his designations in the very near future.”-Eric Pearson, president & CEO of El Paso Community Foundation
For 50 years, El Pasoans have been fighting to protect and preserve #Castner4ever🌼 Today, I urged President Donald J. Trump to honor Indigenous, Hispanic, and Latino peoples’ relationship to the west-Texas landscape by officially designating Castner Range a national monument. Read more👇🏽
Expanding the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument to include #MolokLuyuk will protect sacred Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation lands and a critical wildlife corridor. Thanks John Garamendi Rep. Mike Thompson Senator Alex Padilla Senator Dianne Feinstein for leading this 👏! #MonumentsForAll 📸: Bob Wick
ICYMI: Rep. Veronica Escobar led a letter asking President Donald J. Trump to designate #CasterRange as the next national monument. This landmark holds great significance to the El Pasoan community as the home to rare wildlife and sacred indigenous sites dating back 10,000 years. #MonumentsForAll
