Urge your representative to vote NO on any budget bill threatening Wilderness and public lands

While the budget process in Washington D.C. remains fluid and fast-moving—and provisions impacting Wilderness and America’s public lands legacy are being added and removed from the House and Senate budget bills at breakneck speed—the most important thing is for you to continue raising your voice.

To date, various iterations of the Big Bad Budget Bill have included:

Mandating the sale of up to 3.29 million acres of public land in all western states, except Montana.
Requiring more oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Western Arctic—some of the wildest, most-intact ecosystems left on Earth.
A provision giving public lands at the doorstep of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota to a foreign mining corporation for toxic copper-sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters watershed.
Approval of a key right-of-way for construction of the Ambler Mining Road, a 211-mile road building project through the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve.
A provision that would effectively gut the National Environmental Policy Act—America’s bedrock environmental law—and ban any judicial review of NEPA decisions, including those that impact Wilderness and its wildlife.

Urge your House rep to vote NO on any budget bill that includes provisions undermining Wilderness and public lands protections, including selling off any public land.

We just need a few pieces of information to connect you with your representative.
