The Kw’tsán National Monument campaign supports the Imperial Valley Equity and Justice Coalition as it launches its magazine.

This magazine is focused on environmental and social justice issues important to residents, allies, and visitors of the Imperial Valley. Members of the Kw’tsaan Cultural Committee contributed a 6-page spread entitled, “Love Letter to the Desert” to the magazine. The article offers a deep look into the meaningful relationship the Kwatsan People have had with this land since time immemorial.
