The BLM's Public Lands Rule is a smart and balanced land management framework that ensures lasting stewardship of these special places... so naturally, the Trump admin wants to repeal it.

Hey, Senator Lee 📣 NO ONE wants your public lands sell-offs! We are very thankful to the Senate Parliamentarian who saw this latest scheme for what it truly is—an ideological attack, not a genuine effort to raise federal revenue.

Proposing to sell over 250 million acres of public land is outrageous—short-sighted, self-serving, and irreversible. These beloved places belong to all Americans, not the highest bidder to fulfill the whims of a political agenda. Contact your members of Congress, immediately!

A testament to the powerful grassroots + grasstops efforts of public land advocates nationwide, this is a major win! But we're not out of the woods yet... As the budget bill heads to the Senate, public land supporters from both sides of the aisle must join forces to protect our lands & waters.
