Holy shit… This was shared to someone working on protests in Colorado. 😱
#nationalparks
Screenshot of an email that reads: “Date: March 7, 2025 Subject: Washington DC Trip Report “Hello Friends: What a week in DC to meet with Trump Administration officials and House Committee on National Resources staff and in Utah to work on the Project Wild Utah campaign… Utah is ground zero for proposed elimination of national parks and national monuments. “Meetings with Secretary of the Interior’s staff yielded info regarding the canceling of a groundbreaking mountain lion research project in the Santa Monica Mtns, new uranium mine proposal in Lake Casitas Watershed, new logging in Los Padres NF and increase in drilling next to Sespe Condor Sanctuary. The President and Secretary of the Interior have signed orders to allow new bids for new oil and gas drilling platforms in federal waters of the Santa Barbara Channel WITHOUT environmental review or public participation… first lease sale will be this Spring. “Next month The President will sign executive orders downsizing or eliminating a number of national monuments across the west including the Carrico Plain NM in eastern San Luis Obispo county. “The two national marine sanctuaries offshore of California’s Central coast, Channel Islands NMS, and Chumash heritage NMS will receive zero funds in the coming fiscal year. “Proposed elimination of urban national parks such as the Santa Monica Mtns National Recreation Area was discussed with the Acting Director of National Park Service. “Lots of upcoming plans to close various national parks, national monuments, national forest, and national wildlife refuges across the west. “We have a whole lot of challenges ahead of us, we need to organize, engage, stand up, and speak out. “Let’s all speak truth to power in DC, let those in power know that people across our nation are not going to accept the Trump/Musk vision for our national public lands and waters stand.”

Poster of red & white text on blue background announcing an event on March 4 with instructions to sing “Do You Hear The People Sing” together at 50501 protests at 1 pm local time. Poster of white text on blue background with red & white border. Text is slightly altered lyrics to “Do You Hear The People Sing” which reads: “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of you heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! “Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? “Then join in the fight That will give you the right to be free! “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of you heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! “Will you give all you can give So that our banner may advance? Some will fall and some will live Will you stand up and take your chance? The blood of the martyrs Will water the heart of the blessed! “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of you heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!”

Graphic illustration in pastel colors of Kels (an Asian fem presenting person with short hair in glasses, bunny slippers, & bear onesie) holding a tablet in their lap sitting on floor among art supplies below bubble text. Big pink bubble letters above read “Hey!” and pink printed text next to that read: “I’m Kels Choo! (aka kookookchoo). I self-publish comics & make art!” Graphic illustration of Kels (an Asian fem presenting person with short hair & shoulder bag in glasses, t-shirt, shorts, & slippers) holding sketchbook standing next to text. Big pink bubble letters above read “About”. Below the bubble lettering are a couple of lines of about info text with little stars between: “33,” “INFP,” “She/They,” “Neuro spicy,” “Colorado, USA”. In the next row, are icons representing Aries, Year of the Ram, a nonbinary flag, and a Demi-Pan flag. Under the about info are two columns of likes/dislikes represented by a happy & frowny face. Likes: magic & mythology, spoopy vibes, plants & animals, popcorn, milk, & Animal Crossing. Dislikes: rude ppl, celery, too much spicy, shouting, scary movies, & reading digitally. Graphic illustration in pastel colors describing Kels’ background. Pink text with highlighted bigger bubble letters (in caps) reads: “I’m originally from HAWAI‘I (Japanese, Korean, & Okinawan. NOT Hawaiian). My family has been there since plantation days.” A little arrow points to the main Hawaiian islands & a hibiscus flower. Below is the Chicago skyline with the Chicago flag over it with text in pink: “I went to art school in CHICAGO and lived there for 8 years. Learned about self-publishing & zines while there.” Under that is Colorado state with the Rockies and an arrow pointing to a star on the map where Colorado Springs is. Next to that, pink text reads: “Now I live in COLORADO SPRINGS!
