A reckless proposal to sell millions of acres of public land has officially been removed from the Senate budget reconciliation bill. And it happened because people like you stood up and spoke out.

Your advocacy made a real difference. You helped send a clear message: the American people won’t stand by while our shared lands are put on the chopping block.

But this fight is far from over. New threats are already emerging—including efforts to weaken the Great American Outdoors Act and dismantle the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). These attacks would roll back decades of bipartisan conservation progress and put cherished outdoor spaces at risk. 

Tell Congress: Our public lands are not political bargaining chips; they’re national treasures. 

Our public lands shape who we are. They’re where families explore, communities gather, wildlife thrives, and everyone—regardless of background or income—can connect with nature.

We cannot afford to lose ground. 

Friend, raise your voice again today and help protect the places we all share and love.  

With gratitude,

Myke Bybee

How strongly do you feel about defending our public lands from threats like these?
