Stand Up Now: Our Public Lands Are Not for Sale!

America's public lands are under the most serious assault in a generation—and the Trump administration is just getting started.

Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum have made their agenda clear: open up our national parks, monuments, and wilderness areas to corporate polluters and private developers. They've already fired thousands of federal workers who steward our forests, parks, and wildlife refuges. They're already pushing to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And they're doing all of it in direct defiance of the American public, who overwhelmingly support protecting the lands and agencies—like the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management—that belong to all of us.

The threats aren't abstract. They're happening right now, in places you may know and love.

Trump wants to bulldoze his border wall through Big Bend National Park, waiving the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and other bedrock protections to do it—putting rare wildlife, fragile desert ecosystems, and one of Texas's most iconic landscapes directly in the path of construction.

Senator Mike Lee is using an obscure legislative maneuver to gut the management plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, cracking open nearly 1.9 million acres of ancient slot canyons, dinosaur fossils, and sacred Native American sites in southern Utah to uranium mining.

And Congress just passed a resolution—out of the House, now headed to the Senate—that would hand the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota over to a foreign mining conglomerate for toxic sulfide ore mining, threatening the clean water and wild character of one of the most beloved wilderness areas in the country.

These are not isolated attacks. They are part of a coordinated effort to give away what generations of Americans have fought to protect.

The Sierra Club is already fighting back. We've sued the Trump administration for illegally firing federal land workers. We've helped generate nearly 30,000 public comments to protect national forests. And this summer, we helped defeat a budget proposal that would have sold off millions of acres of public land. But we need your voice to keep the momentum going.

Add your name today to tell Congress: keep public lands public. No wall through Big Bend. No mining in Grand Staircase-Escalante. No toxic drilling in the Boundary Waters. These lands belong to all of us—and we intend to fight like it.
