America’s national parks and monuments provide proven economic benefits—luring entrepreneurs, retirees, and new jobs to rural communities across the west.
According to the Outdoor Industry Association, outdoor recreation contributes $730 billion to the U.S. economy every year and employs 1 in every 20 Americans.
Protecting new parks and monuments would support continued economic growth and new jobs in rural western communities.
Voters agree: in a recent bipartisan poll, nearly 8 in 10 Westerners said we can protect our land and water and have a strong economy and good jobs.
Your help is needed NOW!
Help us call on President Obama to designate critical western lands as national monuments.
