Biden just protected sacred land and vital waterways in Arizona

[beatrice_otter]

There's a whole bunch of land in Arizona that is either sacred to the local tribes or essential to keeping the Colorado River clean and flowing that has been under threat of uranium mining. Biden just signed a proclamation creating the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, forever protecting those lands. It's the fifth new national monument established by President Biden.

It’s really nice to get some good news out of the other Washington! Thanks for the heads up.

There actually has been a decent amount of good news out of the other Washington in Biden's tenure, it's just that the best stuff doesn't get reported on for some reason.
