Elon Musk's DOGE team has fired thousands of rangers, docents, educators, scientists, and caretakers of the National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. These mass firings will hurt protected lands, wildlife, and visitors unless they are reversed.

Tell Congress to stand up for park staff and to roll back these devastating job cuts.

Thanks to pressure from thousands of advocates like you, the Biden administration took action to stop dangerous methane gas leaks. Now, Congress is considering rolling this back to make oil and gas donors happy. Methane gas leaks are highly toxic, expensive, and one of the largest contributors to deadly climate change.

Congress is voting as soon as tomorrow! Call your House representative and ask them to put our health, safety, and economy first by protecting the Methane Waste Emissions Charge rule and voting no on H.J.Res 35, which would roll back protections. 844-956-9855. (Here are talking points you can use for calling.)

These actions threaten our safety, health, and beloved public lands.

Will you stand with us to protect our shared future?
