Dear John,
From rolling back the Tongass Roadless rules to privatizing our parks and gutting senior citizen discounts, Trump has shown he’s willing to sell off our public lands and sell out the American people to increase corporate profits.
Now, Trump’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is pushing to open federal lands in California for new fossil fuel projects. Sequoia National Park, Yosemite, and Kings Canyon are all at risk.
The good news: The BLM hasn’t approved the permits for this plan -- we still have time to protect these iconic landscapes. But we must act fast and we need you with us!
Fight for a fossil fuel free future: Tell the BLM to protect our national parks!
If we can’t stop the Trump Administration in California, nowhere will be safe. We could see mining in the Smoky Mountains, offshore drilling in Glacier Bay, and even fracking in the Everglades -- nothing is off-limits for this administration.
Sequoia National Park is home to the massive Giant Sequoia trees that are one of our nation’s greatest national treasures. The park supports communities living nearby who depend on it for tourism as well. But Trump wants to throw all that away to help his Big Oil friends.
This is the opposite of what we should be doing. We need to keep all fossil fuels in the ground, not hand over our public lands to the fossil fuel industry over the objections of local communities and leaders. We need to end drilling and fracking nationwide, and we need you with us to do so.
Fight Trump’s attacks on our iconic landscapes: Don’t let the BLM destroy California’s National Parks!
Together with engaged Friends of the Earth members like you, we’re building a movement to protect our public lands and ensure Trump’s Administration doesn’t drive us to ruin.
I know Friends of the Earth members like you, John, won’t stand idly by while Trump tries to undo the progress that’s been made in California and dig up more dirty fossil fuels.
Keeping ALL fossil fuels in the ground isn’t one solution, it’s the only solution. And with your help, we can save our iconic lands and pristine ecosystems. But must act fast!
Help send 35,000 comments to the BLM: Block Trump’s latest giveaway to Big Oil!
Standing with you,
Nicole Ghio,
Senior fossil fuels program manager,
