I want to share some exciting news with you. Thanks to the collective efforts of advocates like you over the past weeks leading up to our recent Day on the Hill in Washington, DC, 12 more elected officials cosponsored the Outdoors for All Act. This critical legislation will allocate funding to create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities across the country, particularly in communities with limited outdoor access.
We need your help to move the needle and garner support from your senators so we can get this legislation over the finish line.
Will you send a letter to your senators today to support the Outdoors for All Act?
We’ve made significant strides, but the data shows that our work is far from over. TPL’s ParkScore® report, which launches tomorrow, demonstrates just how vital parks are to the strengthening community. In a time of increased social isolation, parks are among the last public spaces where people can gather and connect. Yet one-third of Americans—including 28 million children—lack access to a park within a 10-minute walk of home.
Urge your senators to cosponsor the Outdoors for All Act (S.448) today to ensure healthier, better-connected, and more resilient communities across the country.
The Outdoors for All Act will—for the first time—extend funding to Native American nations, Indigenous communities, and rural communities. This inclusive approach aims to make hundreds more cities and towns eligible, helping address gaps in park access across the country.
Friend, thank you for taking action to increase access to the outdoors. Together, we can connect more people across the country to the benefits of nature.
