We honor the life and legacy of Betty Reid Soskin, who passed away this week at age 104 — a truth teller, historian, and the nation’s oldest active national park ranger when she retired at age 100.

Thank you Senator for defending public lands! If you're outside of OR, call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Sen. Lee’s amendment #3972!
Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.

Thank you, ‪@hickenlooper.senate.gov for being the first Senator to publicly oppose the nomination of Sell-off Steve Pearce to be Director of the Bureau of Land Management! Our public lands are not for sale. 

📢 Call your Senators to urge them to vote NO on "Sell Off Steve" Pearce: 1-855-980-5638
Americans need a real steward for our public lands. Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the BLM, isn’t one.

He opposed environmental protections and pushed to sell public lands when he was in Congress.

Our public lands are NEVER for sale. I'm a NO on his nomination.

"Trump's pick to manage 245M acres notoriously hellbent on selling public lands"

Great headline. No notes. Any Senators who say they oppose broad public land sales must oppose this nomination.

Thanks to all of our amazing Sierra Club volunteers who joined our coalition in DC for National Wilderness Week!
In September, SC staff & volunteers traveled to D.C. to participate in Wilderness Week to ask Congress to protect our public lands, support the Roadless Area Conservation Act, and safeguard park rangers & other stewards of shared lands.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
