Yosemite National Park is the crown jewel in our nation's national park system. Like all public lands, this park is shared by every one of us. It is not Donald Trump's to give away.
Demand that Congress protect Yosemite National Park now!

In 1890, John Muir worked with Congress and public activists to establish Yosemite National Park. Two years later, Muir founded the Sierra Club to protect more irreplaceable outdoor landscape and natural resources, like Yosemite.
Yosemite's land was protected by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864, establishing that "Yosemite Valley's premises shall be held for public use, resort, and recreation."
friend, now, Trump is trying to carve up Yosemite to make a private real-estate development more profitable.Β He wants to give a private equity development company access to a portion of Yosemite National Park through a secret proposal.
Act now to demand Congress oppose any land exchange or sale that would allow for private development through Yosemite National Park!

At a time when so much divides us, public lands remain one of the few places that all Americans share. From local forests and rivers to national parks and monuments, these places are part of our shared legacy.
If Trump can trade away part of Yosemite to benefit a developer, every national park or other protected landscape becomes vulnerable to the next well-connected private interest.
Yosemite, Big Bend, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Bears Ears have all been threatened in recent months. Enough is enough!
Irreplaceable landscapes like these represent the shared nature, culture, and history that connects all of us, playing a critical role in educating future generations on the legacy of our nation, natural places, and people.
We will not allow our public lands and waters to become playgrounds for billionaires and corporate polluters. We know you will help us use every tool at our disposal to protect Yosemite.
Once these landscapes are gone, they're gone. Join us in doing everything you can to protect Yosemite before it's too late.
