Do you agree that public lands need to stay just that: PUBLIC?
Then contact your reps & congressfolk now, because they are voting to start selling off public lands to the highest bidder.
At midnight on Tuesday, May 6, the House Natural Resources Committee passed legislation for around 460,000 acres of federal public land in Nevada and Utah to be transferred to local governments or sold to private entities. These are primarily National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands.The amendment is part of a sweeping tax cut package. It omits public comment and environmental assessment, leaving the stakeholders, the American people, completely out of the process of how OUR land is managed. If it can happen in Utah and Nevada, it can happen anywhere.
Call or write to your House Representative and remind them that our public lands belong to the American people and they should be protected, not sold. Here is a suggested script:
"I am a constituent calling from (zip code). My name is _______. I am calling to urge (your Representative) to oppose the budget reconciliation bill provision authorizing the sale of public lands. Public lands should be protected and preserved, not sold off to fund tax breaks or for any reason. Public lands belong to the American people!"
(And yes, #LandBack would be better, but let's at least not fucking sell it to private interests!)
BOOST THIS & TAKE ACTION!
