SHIFTING HISTORICAL INEQUITIES FOR PLACE-BASED CONSERVATION

 

Monumental SHIFT is a coalition rooted in ethnically and racially diverse leadership transforming the traditional creation, conception, funding, and stewardship of national monuments in the United States in order to better represent and honor lands and places sacred to the communities which we belong to. Through community-led advocacy, organizing, and storytelling, our coalition supports and furthers the creation of new national monuments.

We promote the creation, designation, funding, inclusion, and conservation of national monuments for and by the communities who hold those lands most sacred through:
