Tomorrow is Trust for Public Land’s annual Day on the Hill, where I’ll be joining advocates from around the country in meetings with elected officials in Washington, DC, to champion the Outdoors for All Act.
One-third of Americans—including 28 million children—lack safe and easy access to a park within a 10-minute walk of home. This legislation will help change that by allocating funding to enhance outdoor recreational opportunities, especially in economically disadvantaged areas and communities with limited park access.
Your senators need to know where you stand. Will you send a message today to help increase access to the outdoors?
I've seen firsthand the transformative power of parks and green spaces in communities. They serve as vital hubs for health, connection, and resilience. And now, for the first time, the Outdoors for All Act will extend funding to tribal nations, Indigenous communities, and smaller towns, aiming to make hundreds more communities, cities, and towns eligible.
Kids and communities need access to nature. With your help today, we can ensure that our message to elected officials tomorrow is impossible to ignore.
Thank you for advocating for the well-being of kids and communities across the country.
With gratitude,
