Block Trump's Attempt to Give Away Part of Yosemite
To: Pres. Trump
From: A constituent in Broomfield, CO
August 29
Stop any effort to transfer, sell, or hand over control of any part of Yosemite National Park. The Trump administration is pushing to give away pieces of this land, and that cannot happen. I expect you to use every tool available to block it.
Yosemite has been public land since 1890. Generations of families have hiked its valleys, camped under its sequoias, and counted on it being there for their children. The moment we open the door to privatization or state transfer, we lose the guarantee of open, affordable access for everyone — not just those who can pay a premium. That is not a trade I'm willing to accept, and it shouldn't be one you're willing to make either.
Tell me clearly where you stand on this and what action you're taking to protect Yosemite.
