Tell Congress: Don’t Sell Off Public Lands!
You helped defeat a bill that would have forced the sale of public lands across 11 states, including Oregon. But this fight isn’t over yet, so let Congress know loud and clear that our public lands are NOT for sale.
Due to the relentless advocacy of public lands lovers from across the nation, Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) disastrous public lands firesale proposal was recently pulled from the Senate reconciliation bill. This was a major victory for the American people and the millions across the country who stood up in defense of our shared natural heritage, and a great reminder that public pressure and collective grassroots action make a real difference.
While this win is worth celebrating, let’s be clear: Senator Lee’s statement makes it evident that he, and Congressional Republicans, are not done trying to sell our public lands. This fight will be back, and we’ll be ready for it. The American public has shown that we will not go quietly when our beloved public lands and shared heritage are at stake.
We’ll always need public land defenders like you, your neighbors, and champions in Congress to stand up for these treasured places and the immense values they provide.
Let Congress know once again that our national public lands are NOT for sale and that they should be protected for this generation and many more to come.
