John,
Have you heard the latest news in our fight for public lands?
This is how much the Administration's proposed 2021 budget has allocated to the Land and Water Conservation Fund:
ALMOST $0
Oil and gas companies pay $900 million in royalties into this fund
every year, and all of that money is supposed to be used to protect
our nation's most iconic landscapes and expand access to outdoor
recreation.
Unfortunately, politicians have
been able to take some of that $900 million and divert it to other
purposes. But never in the 56 years of the LWCF's existence has
almost all of the $900 million been taken away, leaving only less than
2%.
But the threat to public lands
doesn't stop there. The Trump administration has opened the
iconic Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments to
drilling and mining, while blasting away in Organ Pipe Cactus National
Monument, causing possibly irreversible damage to this UNESCO
biosphere.
John, we're mobilizing all our resources to get Congress to act and
protect public lands.
I know I can count on you to stand with us in what may be the most
important battles we've ever taken to Capitol Hill.

We have to get Congress to ignore this dangerous and
anti-environment budget proposal, continue the fight to permanently
protect America's national monuments and public lands, and so
much more ... but we can't do it without you. Please act
now.
