A request from Rev. Andrew Black, an IPL-NM/EP board member and coordinator of Earthkeepers 360 He is also a pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Santa Fe.

Dear New Mexico Spiritual, Tribal and Faith Leaders,

Please join me in calling on President Biden, Secretary Haaland and the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to make the Caja del Rio a National Monument. The Caja del Rio is one of the most remarkable cultural, spiritual, archaeological and ecological landscapes in the southwest. To learn more about the Caja del Rio check out this film. An op-ed I wrote on Caja del Rio is HERE. In calling for a national monument, we will be joining the All Pueblo Council of Governors, Santa Fe County Commission, and Santa Fe Mayor.

As spiritual, tribal and faith leaders, I am asking you to SIGN ON TO THIS LETTER. 

The deadline to sign on is Wednesday, December 18th. Also I’ve attached the letter. Please feel free to share this letter with other spiritual, Tribal and faith leaders you work with and encourage them to sign on as well.

For those interested in extra credit, please call Senators Heinrich and Lujan and Representatives Leger-Fernandez, Stansbury and Vasquez offices and ask them to support President Biden designating the Caja del Rio as a National Monument.

Thank you and feel free to reach out if you have any questions,

Reverend Andrew Black
