A great suggestion for the Forest Service employees in your life.
Odds are they won’t ask for help, and will try just tough it out by sheer force of will and determination 🤠
Don’t let them do that.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

NPS would lose support staff who literally keep the agency running & technical specialists who oversee the protection of our water, land, wildlife, & cultural resources.
AND the cuts aren't just NPS. They're trying to axe people in the Fish & Wildlife Service, BLM, USGS, and many more agencies.

Last night I ranted. A few reflections.
Asking to #DoSomething includes Congress, the courts, and us. My concern is lack of a vision.
This is where we need charismatic leadership to lead the way. Who will that be? Who will help us all use our energy together?
