One question for you before Earth Day 🌎

Tell us how you’re standing up for public lands this Earth Day.

Momoko, Earth Day is just one week away—a time to celebrate the wild places that belong to all of us. But this year, it also arrives at a moment when those places are under extraordinary pressure. In just the first few months of 2026, Congress and the administration have launched sweeping attacks on public lands and environmental safeguards—mandating new oil and gas lease sales in America's Arctic and across the West, and using a little-known law called the Congressional Review Act to dismantle protections for national monuments, wilderness areas and wildlife refuges. Earth Day is a moment to celebrate the landscapes we love—but also to stand together and say that our wildlife, wild places and communities deserve better. That's why we're asking: will you take our quick survey and tell us what you pledge to do to support public lands this Earth Day? Your response helps us understand how supporters like you want to show up for the wild places we all cherish—and how we can work together to defend them. For my part, I'll be celebrating with a long nature walk with my family and reflecting on why these landscapes matter so much. What will you do for Earth Day, Momoko? Please take 20 seconds and tell us here. Thank you for everything you do to stand up for America's wild places. We always love hearing from you. With gratitude, Margot Krieger Director of Membership The Wilderness Society P.S. If you'd also like to help defend public lands from these attacks, consider making a special Earth Day gift today. Every dollar you give will be MATCHED 5X by a generous donor, up to $375,000! Mason Cummings
