🔥 Wildfires are a huge threat to Western communities, but fed wildfire preparedness is plummeting. 1000's of positions are unfilled, hazardous fuel reduction is down, & we are paying the price. Over 160 local officials are demanding action: bit.ly/TMPWildfire #MountainPact

From the Durango Herald: "Over 14 years in Congress, “Sell-off Steve” built a record aimed at shrinking or disposing of America’s public lands."

The Senate must reject this anti-public lands ideologue!

Communities across the West are standing up and pushing back against the administration's misguided attempts to rollback the BLM Public Lands Rule. Thank you to everyone who is speaking out to protect this critical conservation tool!

Thank you to La Plata County Commissioner Matt Salka for standing up for our public lands, and for defending the BLM Public Lands Rule. We must retain this critical conservation tool so communities across the West can continue benefitting from our shared public lands.

The vast majority of Americans support the BLM Public Lands Rule because it elevates conservation as a priority for land management decisions alongside other uses. We urge the administration to listen to the thousands of voices calling for this critical tool to be retained.

Pima County Supervisor Jennifer Allen supports the BLM Public Lands Rule for the protections it provides to natural wonders like the Ironwood Forest National Monument. We're grateful to everyone speaking out to defend this rule, and urge the administration to reconsider its efforts to abandon it.

Countless communities across the West depend on public lands. We need a more balanced approach to land management, which is why leaders across the West oppose the gutting of the BLM Public Lands Rule.

The BLM’s Public Lands Rule puts conservation on equal footing with other land uses. But the Trump admin wants to gut it. We’re proud to support the 180 Western leaders urging the admin to keep the Rule. bit.ly/BLMLetter2025 #MountainPact #ActNowForPublicLands

Housing affordability is a crisis in Western and rural communities. We need more tools in our toolbox to help people afford to live where they work, not fewer.

Thank you to Bend, Oregon for being one of the more than 60 communities across the west who have passed resolutions, written letters, and signed proclamations protecting our public lands! We stand with you.

Public lands are part of what makes the West great, and we thank the dozens of communities across the west who have reaffirmed their commitment to defending them. We must prevent anti-public land politicians from shrinking or selling off our public lands to the highest bidder.

The BLM Public Lands Rule provides protections for some of our most important wildlife habitat, recreation areas, water resources, and Indigenous sites. We need to keep this rule so communities across the West can continue benefitting from it for generations to come.

The Trump administration is attacking our public lands. Celebrate Public Land Day and stay in the fight so that millions of acres of public lands and waters, including our national monuments, are not sold off to the highest bidder.
