A group of locals protesting outside the Kenai Fjords National Park visitor center in Seward Alaska. @resistancerangers.bsky.social
A dozen or so people standing in front of the park visitor center. One sign, the size of a double mattress, says ‘ Fight 4 the Fjord’. An Australian cattle dog wearing a sign saying ‘We Heart Rangers’.

Sunday focus on action and personal power!

What are your unique skill sets you are using to protect our #Constitution?

If a federal employee, how are you resisting at work?

For everyone, what is your superpower in resisting?

Yesterday was a teach in. We encourage everyone who attended a protest to reflect: what did you learn? How did you feel in the moment? Can you recreate this feeling in your own community, for your own passions? We know you can. You got this. We got this.

We asked, and you delivered.

Yesterday over thousands of people showed up to support their public lands.

We can’t thank y’all enough for your support. And most importantly: the community YOU have been building since January 20th.

The 5 of us made an impact! 🪧 We showed up, and spoke with many about this non-partisan issue. It felt good to have support, even from those just walking by 🫶 More information, including dates on upcoming rally events, can be found at @resistancerangers.bsky.social

Just this month, you all have made hundreds of calls, sent thousands of postcards, and organized two nationwide protests at 200 park sites! Damn.

Next up? Organizing in your own community. Tag a friend in the comments who will help you protect public lands!

#ProtectPublicLands #WorthFightingFor
A mountainous landscape with hundreds of protestors lining the road. Text reads: Resistance Rangers is keeping up the fight. Do you want to join? Organize for public lands near you! Image of protestors at the Grand Canyon. Text on a blue box reads: Get involved locally! Coordinate on a national day of action Visit mobilize.us to find events near you If there isn’t a protest, make one! Remember: small town protests have big impacts A crowd gathered on a plaza beneath palm trees. Text reads: Is there a local issue you care about? Organize your own event! Reach out to friends, family, and local organizations for support Get a permit if you need one Advertise everywhere! Social media, email, flyers. Contact local news! Someone fills out a postcard that says RESIST on the front. Text reads: Reps not answering the phone? Try something different! Host a resistance postcard party Call reps with your friends Organize a protest concert Bring a group to your Rep’s office hours

In the face of hate; in the face of censorship; in the face of yet another attempt to deny who has shaped this nation:

We promise to fight back. Knowledge is power: power to the people. And the people, united? They will never be defeated.

When stories are censored, you will find them here. Buffalo Soldiers ready for inspection in Cuba. Photo via US Army. Don't allow this history to be forgotten. We won't.

We urge you to continue to use your voice and stand with public servants:
Show up to protests!
Call/email/write/send smoke signals to your reps and let them know you stand with federal workers.

Keep holding this administration accountable.

We have the power to make changes we want to see.

This is the “Avengers Assemble” moment for the federal workforce (jk. but not really.)

In all seriousness, we stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the CDC.
Text on a reddish orange background reads “on April 1 2400 employees were terminated at the center for disease control and prevention. Why does this matter for the NPS and what can you do?” 12 raised fists along the bottom of the graphic Black text on a red reads “as resistance ranges were not separate from our federal colleagues in PSS has a long-standing 100+ year partnership with the office of public health. Health issues are interconnected. Our work is directly linked to the health of our environment and communities.” Text on a reddish orange background reads “this wasn’t a routine budget cut. It was a deliberate gutting of America’s public health infrastructure carried out under political orders behind closed doors and with little public (or even CDC) awareness this is not normal and it could happen to us.” Text on an orange red background reads “the layoffs were part of a broader initiative announced by executive order. The stated goal was to “make America healthy again “by consolidating 28 agencies into 15 and eliminating 10,000 federal positions across HHS but our colleagues at the CDC say it doesn’t feel like streamlining. it feels like sabotage.”
