Tell Congress our public lands and waters aren’t for sale.

In the dead of night last week, House Republicans
advanced budget legislation to expand fossil fuel leasing and
sell off well over half a million acres of public lands in Utah
and Nevada to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

This will not stand. We must raise a public outcry that Congress
can’t ignore to protect and preserve our public lands and ensure
we can continue to access and enjoy our shared wild places.

Tell Congress that we won’t stop fighting
for our cherished public lands. They aren’t for sale — no matter
who is in office. ( [link removed] )

This move is part of a broader pattern of attacks by the
administration on public lands and waters — including ongoing
efforts to illegally weaken environmental review processes,
making it easier for oil, gas, and mining companies to drill and
mine in some of our most sensitive wild places. And the Interior
Department is reportedly analyzing whether to remove or weaken
protections for several of our iconic national monuments like
Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante.

Your voice is important now more than
ever before — write to your members of Congress to block attacks
on our public lands and waters NOW. ( [link removed] )

Our Public Lands and Waters Aren’t for Sale

But the Trump administration wants to sell them to their
corporate cronies to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Urge
Congress to stop attacks on our cherished wild places.

Dear NRDC Action Fund
Activist,

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has
referred to the nation’s public lands as assets on “America’s
balance sheet.”

It’s appalling. Our treasured public lands and national parks
cannot be reduced to items that can be bought and sold to the
highest bidder.

And now, as Congress is debating how it’s
going to pay for a sweeping budget reconciliation package to
advance the Trump agenda, the administration is trying to use our
public lands and waters to pay for President Trump’s tax cuts for
billionaires.

An anti-environment majority in Congress
is backing the administration’s latest liquidation scheme: Tell
Congress that our lands and waters are not for sale. ( [link removed] )

As the Trump administration’s first 100 days come to a close, the
president has wasted no time making good on his campaign promises
to his Big Oil donors: Signing an executive order that would
illegally open large swaths of America’s coastal waters to
offshore oil drilling …

… announcing orders that could remove protections for some of the
country’s most cherished national monuments, including Utah’s
Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante and Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah
Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon ...

… and with the help of unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his
DOGE team, firing thousands of key experts across the National
Park Service and other critical lands agencies.

This spending bill is merely their next
opportunity to destroy America’s public lands for fossil fuel
profits and short-term financial gain. And we need to mobilize a
nationwide outcry that they won’t be able to ignore.

Urge your members of Congress ( [link removed] ) to oppose any proposals that would:

* Sell off our treasured public lands to
the highest bidder
* Mandate opening up most of these shared lands — an area larger
than the size of Texas — every three months to oil and gas
leasing
* Force lease sales for offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
and parts of Alaska all covering tens of millions of acres
* Discourage clean energy by making dirty fossil fuels the
priority and making renewable energy more expensive to build on
federal lands

We can’t let
iconic sites that are a part of America’s heritage be auctioned
off to corporate polluters. ( [link removed] )

We're fighting back. Our sister organization NRDC and our
partners have sued the administration to block its executive
order that would illegally open U.S. waters to offshore oil and
gas drilling. We’re working with members of Congress on both
sides of the aisle to save our shared lands and waters. And we’re
mobilizing grassroots pressure on every lawmaker to act in the
best interest of the communities they serve, not fossil fuel
companies.

Your members of Congress will listen to constituents like YOU.
Tell them that you want our most cherished wild places to be
protected, rather than plundered and lost forever for corporate
profit.

Contact Congress NOW — block legislative
attacks on our public lands and waters. ( [link removed] )

Sincerely,

Josh Axelrod
