“This is your bill,” he said. “This is your empowerment. This is your movement. This is the movement of a community coming together to protect our lands for the betterment of all creation.” “This is the largest, one of the most significant proposals we have in that seven year plan,” said Secretary Wade Crowfoot from the California Natural Resources Agency.Even if the state, local communities, and tribes are on board with the idea - The Chuckwalla National Monument would need to be designated by the federal government. That could come from an Act of Congress, or through an Executive Order from President Joe Biden.
“This is the movement of a community coming together to protect our lands for the betterment of all creation,” he said.
