National Park Service staff are the heartbeat of our parks. They work every day to maintain the places we all love — yet are facing a staffing crisis unlike ever before. We must come together and tell Congress to stand up for our parks and their staff. https://act.npca.org/page/89642/action/1

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Eileen and James Kramer were fired from their jobs at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska, even though they both recently received promotions. A judge has found the administration's firings illegal.

Great article on the recent firings across NPS with the amazingly talented Kristen Brengel. #protectourparks
NPCA's Kristen Brengel to @usatoday.com: "We're losing dedicated professionals who've been doing a fabulous job, and that loss of expertise will hurt the Park Service over time...This termination just adds more pain to the understaffing."
How National Park Service layoffs could stretch some parks to their limits
Roughly 1,000 NPS workers were laid off as part of the Trump Administration's push to trim the federal workforce. Here’s what that means for visitors.
