Hi,
Extremist Republicans in Congress are reviving one of the most dangerous
ideas in American politics: selling off our public lands.
As part of budget negotiations, GOP leaders are pushing proposals to sell
off vast tracts of public land to private developers, fossil fuel
corporations, and other special interests. They're trying to exploit the
affordable housing crisis to ram through this deeply unpopular agenda with
minimal public scrutiny.
Selling off public lands won’t fix the budget or solve the housing crisis.
What it will do is damage fragile ecosystems, displace Indigenous
communities, and jeopardize rural economies built around outdoor
recreation.

Americans across the political spectrum value public lands — from national
parks and forests to wildlife refuges and open spaces. Attempts to
privatize them to fund tax cuts or appease special interests go against
the will of the people and threaten the future of the places we all depend
on for recreation, clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and cultural
preservation.
Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with solving the housing crisis or
balancing the budget — and everything to do with lining the pockets of
political donors, undermining conservation, and reversing decades of
environmental protections.
Our lawmakers must stand against any proposals to sell off America’s
public lands.
