***************************************

Friend, last week, we shared how your support plays
a critical role in safeguarding public lands nationwide. Thanks to
your past advocacy, we've achieved landmark land conservation
victories, such as passage of the Outdoors for All Act.

Thank you for standing with us. 

Despite these landmark wins, history reminds us that these
achievements are fragile. In 2017, the Trump administration
significantly rolled back public land protections and threatened to
open cherished spaces to drilling, mining, and industrial use. 

We don't yet know what this second term will mean for our wild
places and green spaces. But we don't need to guess where
certain members of Congress stand. Some want to sell federal public
lands to their respective states to be leased for destructive
development. Others want to cut the Land and Water Conservation Fund,
hurting our ability to protect national forests, seashores, and
wildlife refuges. We must be ready for these attacks on our National
Parks, Monuments, and public lands.

Below, you'll find our 2025 roadmap to defend what we've
built together so that we can secure the future of our country's
parks, iconic national monuments, and precious green spaces.

You can get started right now by urging Congress to stand strong and
protect our national monuments.

Protect National Monuments 

[link removed]

Many iconic National Parks we know and love-such as Grand Canyon
and Arches-were first protected as national monuments through
the Antiquities Act.

Yet despite our love for these special places, our national monuments
and public lands face significant threats. During the last Trump
administration, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monuments lost protections, opening these iconic landscapes to
long-term development, habitat loss, and the desecration of cultural
sites and historic artifacts. 

This cannot happen again. We must protect our country's most
precious places today, or we risk losing the
irreplaceable.  

Urge your members of Congress to safeguard the Antiquities Act and
fight back against attacks on our national monuments.

Save America's Forests

Forests are vital for clean air, water, and biodiversity. Yet they
face significant challenges, including severe wildfires, drought
stress, reckless development, and more. We must protect our forests
through reforestation efforts, good forest management techniques, and
climate change mitigation. 

We are working in communities nationwide to protect our forests, but
more needs to be done. Urge Congress to protect funding for the
Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program, which will help
communities protect and manage local forests sustainably.

Safeguard Critical Climate Investments

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is one of America's
most comprehensive climate change laws. It invests in climate-smart
agriculture and natural climate solutions, such as planting millions
of trees crucial to reducing heat and absorbing stormwater in areas
most impacted by extreme weather.  

In 2023, with your help, we thwarted a deceptive attempt to repeal the
act. But with changes on the horizon, we must stay vigilant and ensure
this doesn't happen again.  

Your voice is crucial to safeguarding this critical funding. Tell
lawmakers to oppose any cuts or rollbacks to the IRA.

Transform Asphalt Playgrounds into
Green Space for Kids 

[link removed]

Every child deserves to play outside in a safe, welcoming environment.
Yet millions of kids attend schools with asphalt landscapes for
recess-with no trees for shade or engaging areas to play and
learn. That's why we're working to transform schoolyards
from blacktops into vibrant community play spaces-filled with
trees, gardens, outdoor classrooms, and innovative play areas that
benefit children's education and health.

With the help of TPL members, we've transformed 350 schoolyards
so far-but with support from lawmakers, we can scale these
critical efforts. Urge your members of Congress to take action.
