An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reject plan to privatize public lands and parks

42 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The Trump administration's plan to establish a sovereign wealth fund by liquidating public lands is misguided and should be firmly rejected. Our national parks, forests, and wilderness areas are treasured resources that belong to all Americans, not assets to be squandered on another unnecessary government slush fund. Especially after lavishing massive tax cuts on the wealthy and corporations that have ballooned the federal deficit, it is unconscionable to propose raiding public lands held in trust for future generations. These lands provide invaluable recreation opportunities, preserve biodiversity, help combat climate change, and are an enduring part of our national heritage that must be protected, not auctioned off. I urge you to vocally oppose this reckless scheme and uphold our nation's longstanding commitment to conservation stewardship.
