John,

Last month, you helped us thank our U.S. Senators for supporting the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), bringing us a step closer to ensuring vital public lands funding for decades to come. The Senate overwhelmingly passed the GAOA with bipartisan support, and now it’s the House’s turn to take up the vote.

We need your help to pass this historic legislation.

Ask Washington’s Representatives to vote for the Great American Outdoors Act and support our public lands! [[link removed]]

Never have the American people valued their parks, trails, forests and waters more, turning to them for emotional solace and physical activity in this time of isolation and anxiety. The pandemic has shown clearly that many communities are woefully underserved and don’t have safe, easy access to green spaces close to home. Public land investments made through the Great American Outdoors Act will help address these needs.

The House is likely to vote this month. Urge our Representatives to pass the GAOA cleanly, with no amendments, to ensure critical funding for public lands! [[link removed]]

The Great American Outdoors Act takes major strides to improve outdoor access, permanently dedicating full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund to the tune of $900 million each year, and providing billions of dollars to address the immense maintenance backlogs in our national parks and other public lands.

Strong investments to increase and improve access to parks, trails, and other outdoor spaces help support local urban and rural communities throughout Washington and across the country, especially as we work to keep each other and ourselves safe and healthy through this pandemic.

Thanks for all you do,

Hau'oli Kahaleuahi
