Take Action

This National Public Lands Day, our wild places need us.

Special interest groups are pushing to sell public lands to private buyers, threatening the spaces where we hike, camp, and make lifelong memories.

If they succeed, we could lose these places forever.

That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Public Lands in Public Hands Act: bipartisan legislation that would stop the sale of our shared public lands and keep them open for everyone.

Add your name today and join advocates nationwide who are standing up for our shared outdoor places. Let’s make this National Public Lands Day a milestone in protecting the places we all share.

RE: Keep Public Lands in Public Hands

I'm deeply concerned about the ongoing efforts to transfer federally protected public lands to state or private control.

Our public lands, national forests, parks, and open spaces, are meant for everyone's enjoyment. But if protections are stripped away, they could be sold, developed, or closed to the public.

These lands provide space for recreation, support local economies, and protect wildlife. Weakening federal protections could lead to selling these lands for short-term profit. States simply do not have the resources to maintain these lands, increasing the likelihood they will be sold to cover costs, which would cut off access for millions of Americans.

Congress has a rare opportunity to safeguard these landscapes by passing the bipartisan Public Lands in Public Hands Act, ensuring our shared outdoor spaces remain protected from privatization and accessible to all. I urge you to support this critical legislation and oppose any initiatives that would compromise the future of our public lands.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to preserving these irreplaceable spaces.
