⛰️Creating the Sáttítla National Monument would protect over 206,000 acres of culturally significant and ecologically rich public land in northern California.

My heart goes out to the students, faculty, and families affected by the shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Students should be learning skills that will set them up for their future, not fearing whether or not they will live to see that future. Enough is enough.
