Hi CLCV Member,

This month the Great American Outdoors Act will be taken up in the Senate and sent to the House of Representatives. However, the fight is not over - we are looking to the House of Representatives to ensure this bill becomes law! 

As this important piece of legislation moves forward, we need Speaker Pelosi to usher this bill through the House and provide full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). LWCF will help expand access to the outdoors and protect our public lands for future generations. This legislation will fuel economic growth and development in the over 40,000 state and local parks supported by LWCF. These public lands support over 7 million American jobs and create billions of dollars in economic output for communities across the country. Investing in LWCF is an investment in the economic lifeblood of many communities. 

The bipartisan support of this legislation shows it is an obvious win for our country. Access to the outdoors is an integral part of the American experience. America’s public lands make our communities stronger and more resilient - and making sure all Americans have access to outdoor green spaces to exercise and find comfort should be an essential part of our collective national recovery.

Urge Speaker Pelosi to take full funding for LWCF across the finish line.  

See you outside,
