An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Protect America’s Public Lands

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to demand that you take an unwavering stand to protect our national parks from corporate takeover. Any attempt to sell, privatize, or weaken protections for these lands is nothing less than an assault on the American people and a betrayal of our nation’s values. America is beautiful because of its land. President Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, and later leaders from both parties recognized that our most extraordinary landscapes needed to be preserved, not parceled out to corporations. Protecting public lands has always been a bipartisan achievement—rooted in the understanding that once destroyed or sold off, these irreplaceable treasures are gone forever. Let me be clear: corporations see only profit, not preservation. They will drill, mine, and pave until nothing remains. Selling national parks is not only shortsighted, it is profoundly un-American. These lands belong to the people—all people—not to private interests. That is why I urge you not only to oppose every proposal to sell or exploit our national parks, but also to work across the aisle to pass legislation that permanently bans the privatization or sale of our public lands. Protecting America’s natural beauty is not a partisan issue—it is a patriotic responsibility. History will remember whether you chose to protect our shared heritage or stood by while it was dismantled. Be on the side of preservation, not plunder. Defend America’s beauty. Protect our national parks. And pass strong bipartisan legislation that ensures they remain public forever.
