Love Is King led a group of BIPOC artists, activists, and creators on a journey through the Owyhee Canyonlands, and last month, sat down with Senator Ron Wyden, shining a light on the need for lasting protections for this one-of-a-kind landscape.

Now more than ever before, we need Oregon's leaders to stand up for the Owyhee.

Former Oregon State Rep, Peter DeFazio, did a great job summarizing why the time for action is now in this op-ed for the @Oregonian: https://t.co/s7f6pZnYel

"When you have the shot lined up, you better take it." 🏀🎯

This article from @wweek highlights how Oregonians have the biggest conservation opportunity in the West right now, and all we need is for Sen. @RonWyden to be willing to take the shot!

73% of ppl in OR want to #ProtectTheOwyhee yet political gridlock stalls action for 1.1M acres of public lands. @TheBulletin highlights this struggle: https://t.co/1ZhaghAJ4K

@RonWyden @SenJeffMerkley pls call on @POTUS to designate an Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument now!

👀 Check out the Owyhee Canyon Overlook! This short hike to a breathtaking view of 126 miles of canyons diving up to 1k ft deep into the volcanic basalt bedrock is a must see.

Lets protect this marvel for future generations➡️ https://t.co/A5Yyr4bYNd #ProtectTheOwyhee @RonWyden

[Central Oregon Daily News @CODaily]

The group called "Great Old Broads for Wilderness" organized a day of action in Bend's Peace Corner, calling for senator Ron Wyden to support designating the Owyhee Canyonlands a national monument. That status would give the land federal protections. https://t.co/5sEK2p7FRq

Sen @RonWyden takes pride in identifying as a Senator for all Oregonians. 73% of Oregonians want to see an Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument this year, and if Congress can't move fast enough we ask Sen. Wyden to urge @POTUS to act.

The Bend Bulletin Editorial Board calls it 'a shame' to let 2024 pass without protecting the Owyhee Canyonlands. We agree and hope Oregon Senators
@RonWyden @SenJeffMerkely will seize the moment to permanently protect the Owyhee, now. #ProtectTheOwyee

"Through the use of the 1906 Antiquities Act, the @POTUS Biden administration has the authority to designate critical spaces such as these canyonlands as national monuments... As a soldier, I swore to defend my country and the wondrous places like Owyhee Canyonlands."

[Vet Voice Foundation @VetVoiceFound]

Veterans from Oregon to D.C. want to see the Owyhee Canyonlands permanently protected as a national monument, @POTUS. Check out our latest video featuring Oregon-based veterans, filmed at the proposed monument site.

Absolutely right, @RonWyden! Your leadership in protecting the Owyhee is inspiring. 73% of Oregonians (including 58% in Eastern Oregon) support National Monument protections. If Congress stalls, please urge @POTUS to act by the end of 2024! #ProtectOwyhee #ActNow.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Great to see ranchers, Tribes, conservationists and more come together for the Owyhee with a true #OregonWay spirit. Proud to have worked with this broad coalition in Eastern Oregon to find durable & effective solutions that generate jobs and protect this natural treasure.

[Owyhee Canyonlands @ProtectOwyhee]

A whopping 73% of Oregonians say YES to @POTUS designating an Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument! Let's make it happen.🙌
