An open letter to the U.S. Congress

This Land Is Your Land—Until Trump Sells It

33 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The Trump administration’s plan to sell off millions of acres of public lands is reckless—and it must be stopped. Recent budget proposals tied to President Trump’s tax plan threaten up to 3.3 million acres in Western states—national forests, BLM lands, and critical wildlife corridors. This isn’t about smart budgeting. It’s about handing sacred American lands to developers and fossil fuel interests. Environmental experts are sounding the alarm. Jenny Fitzgerald of the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance warns we risk “no recovery” for elk, bison, grizzly bears, and pronghorn antelope if corridors are fragmented. Randi Spivak of the Center for Biological Diversity calls this a “trophy homes, deforestation, pollution and extinction” agenda. The Guardian reports that over 7,500 Forest Service jobs are already gone—leaving us dangerously unprepared for wildfires and disasters. The American people—and policymakers across party lines—value clean air, clean water, wildlife, and shared outdoor spaces. These lands don’t just belong to a few; they belong to all of us. I urge you to: — Oppose any legislation permitting mass public land sales — Demand hearings to examine the climate, economic, and national security risks — Support bipartisan protections ensuring that land sales require public input, NEPA review, and Congress approval We can balance housing needs without selling our heritage and undermining our planet. This is not an optional debate—it’s our duty. Please stand with Americans who believe in stewardship, not short-sighted profit. Lives, jobs, and ecosystems depend on your leadership.
