Keep calling your senators and tell them no land sales! Better yet, tell them to drop all of the #publiclands provisions.

Don’t let the land grabbers getaway with this!

What a corrupt shitshow…

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum is doing a tour of public lands....while actively gutting them and planning to fire their staff. Did he really think he could get away with that? Yikes.

Some parks fans at Olympic didn't let him get off easy! ⬇️⬇️
