ALERT: Senate *still* interfering in public lands

Overturning land management plans will sow chaos...

Tell the Senate to stop interference in public lands management!   Send a message Dear Momoko, In August we warned that Congress was planning to use radical legislation to rescind public land management plans—a dangerous and unprecedented move that would cause chaos. Unfortunately, these resolutions have cleared the House and are headed to the Senate for final passage. These destructive resolutions will cast aside years of expert work and countless volumes of input from local communities, Tribes and other stakeholders. They cannot be allowed to pass! Tell your Senators to stop interference in public lands management! Resource Management Plans are drafted by experts at the Department of the Interior over the course of years—with broad input from the public—to guide responsible and sustainable use of public lands. These are the documents that guide conservation of beloved recreation areas, critical wildlife habitat, clean water sources and more. Lawmakers, who apparently believe they know better than both professionals and local communities, are using a complex and radical legislative tool—the Congressional Review Act—to unilaterally overturn these plans and prevent them from being reissued. If they are successful, it will set a dangerous precedent and sow destruction for years to come. Tell your Senators to stop interference in public lands management! Thank you for your advocacy and support. Sincerely, The Wilderness Society   Send a message Mason Cummings

Let’s finish Public Lands Day strong 🏋️ [5X Match]

We're all in this together.

This is it, Momoko—the final hours to have your Public Lands Day gift go FIVE TIMES FURTHER for the lands we all cherish. Our 5X match ends at midnight tonight and in the face of relentless threats, we need to finish this day strong to ensure that public lands remain in public hands, now and forever. Your gift fuels legal fights, grassroots advocacy, scientific research and on-the-ground conservation, led by a nationwide movement of people who care deeply about the future of our shared public lands and waters. Don't miss this chance to be part of a national day of celebration and action for the places that inspire, sustain and connect us. Give before midnight tonight and your generosity will be multiplied FIVE TIMES OVER >>   Your $25 = $125 for public lands     Your $50 = $250 for public lands     Your $75 = $375 for public lands     Your $100 = $500 for public lands

Momoko, public lands are under siege: Congress and the Trump administration are mandating oil and gas lease sales across numerous states—even in fragile places like the Arctic—placing more than 200 million acres on the auction block for drilling with little oversight. That's why today—Public Lands Day—we're rallying together to defend the lands that unite us. From the spectacular sunrise over the Rockies to the glow of fireflies during an Appalachian sunset, public lands are where families camp under star-filled skies, hikers greet each other on winding trails and wildlife like grizzly bears, caribou and pronghorn roam. Today, we're celebrating the beauty, connection to nature and community that public lands give us—and rallying to protect them for generations to come. Until midnight tonight, your gift will be MATCHED 5X to do even more for the outdoor spaces we all love.   MATCH YOUR GIFT 5X   Thanks to generous supporters like you from around the country, we're already halfway to our goal of $50,000! But with our biggest Public Lands Day match ever ending at midnight, we still need your help to make the most of this momentum to safeguard more landscapes, wildlife habitat and recreational spaces across the country >> When we unite for public lands, we are powerful. This past summer, we stopped a harmful federal budget proposal that would have opened up vast swathes of public land for private sale. We defeated this corporate giveaway because we were united, because we spoke out. That's the power of a movement working together—and what Public Lands Day is all about. Please, Momoko, before the day is over, make a special Public Lands Day gift to be part of this nationwide movement and have your generosity go FIVE TIMES FURTHER for the places that inspire, sustain and connect us all.

For 48 hrs: 5X the love for public lands 💚

Public lands need you today and every day:

Momoko, tomorrow is Public Lands Day—a full day's celebration of the parks, peaks, forests and waterways where wildlife roam and communities meet to hike, fish, camp, connect with nature and make treasured memories. This year, we hope you'll join us in honoring this moment by helping us raise $50,000 to ensure public lands are protected and accessible for generations to come. Every gift made before midnight tomorrow will be MATCHED 5X by a generous donor, up to $500,000, to go even further to give back to the wild places that give us so much. Chip in while your support multiplies 5X >> Coming together for the public lands we share is more important than ever. Right now, they are facing relentless attacks that could threaten the future of iconic landscapes across the country: Anti-conservation lawmakers have put more than 200 million acres of public land on the auction block for oil and gas drilling. Earlier this month, the administration took a major step towards rescinding the Public Lands Rule, a move that would undo one of our movement's biggest recent victories and revert the Bureau of Land Management to managing public lands primarily for the good of powerful drilling, mining and development interests over conservation and recreation. Drastic cuts to vital agencies like the National Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service are hindering visits from the public and even emergency wildfire response. Oil and gas lease sales are being mandated in every Western state and even in fragile landscapes like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Western Arctic. The places that inspire, sustain and connect us all need our support this Public Lands Day. Make your gift before midnight tomorrow and it will be MATCHED 5X to fight back and defend the landscapes we all love >> Together, we can ensure that our shared public lands and the life they support endure for generations to come. Thank you for your support, Momoko. —The Wilderness Society Jeff P, flickr
