John,

Our public lands are in peril.

Yesterday, President Trump
released his budget to Congress for 2021. And I have some bad news.

For a second year in a row, his
budget includes virtually no funding for America's most critical
conservation program - the Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF). Instead, he is diverting the funds that are rightfully set
aside for public lands to other sources.

The LWCF has been essential to
the protection of more than 45,000 parks and green spaces across the
country. Virtually eliminating funding for this program is
unacceptable. If this budget is approved by Congress, the result will
be devastating for public lands across the nation.

John, we
need you to take action now: Tell Congress to ignore this proposed
budget, and to pass a budget that helps, not hurts, the environment!

As a supporter of The Trust for
Public Land, you know how important the Land and Water Conservation
Fund is to protecting and preserving our nation's public lands.
This is the time for Congress to provide full and dedicated funding
for the LWCF, not roll back the program's funding! Together with
your help, we are working to combat this threat in two major ways:

* Mobilizing grassroots support to urge Congress to pass a budget
that's good for the environment
* Our Federal Affairs team is working tirelessly on Capitol Hill
to convince the Senate and the House of Representatives to hold
floor votes on full and dedicated funding for the LWCF

With your
support, we've convinced Congress to replace President
Trump's harmful budget proposals before and we can do it again.
The Trust for Public Land staff and volunteers are working hard to
drum up media attention, visit Congressional staff in key states, and
hold briefings with Congressional offices in Washington, D.C. But we
need you to join in the fight and raise your voice against this
anti-environment budget.

Take action right now to stand up against President Trump's
proposed budget so we can protect public lands in peril.

Thank you for speaking up for public lands during this critical
time.
