Several thousand Idaho people rally for Idaho land against billionaire grabs
Great turnout for the Rally for Idaho Public Lands. We cannot afford to lose our public lands to privatization. Do Not Sell off our Public Lands. We will lose our places where we hike, hunt, fish, camp, raft, and recreate. Privatization will lick out the public, and cost our local economy billions.
