Thanks so much for providing this template. Took me 15 mins tops to send to my Rep and Senators. Very well written. I am a lifelong supporter of our NPS and my heart is broken. I have passed this substack along to other groups.
Thanks! I stumbled on your substack and sent the "make noise'" info to my jerk of a rep Mike Bost. Illinois doesn't have a national parks, but my property is right against the Shawnee National Forest.. different department.but same thing could happen of clear cutting to the highest bidder
Upon retirement, i am one of the many who volunteered as a host. I picked up trash, radioed the EMT when a 16 year broke his leg jumping into the river and waited with him until emergency arrived, then went looking for his family. I did a lot of cleaning and grunt work. And I loved it. I couldn’t afford to work for any park system and have a family, but retired I saw other retirees- teachers, fire fighters, professional and managerial people with amazing degrees - who loved our parks and admired the rangers and staff’s dedication. Our park people are the best of the best. Smart, empathetic, great teachers, sharing, patient, purposeful individuals who have the greatest national pride. They elevate us all.
Thank you Will!!! This is perfect. Appreciate you making this easy for us. I feel like I’ve taken on a second job, as do many, but one with purpose!! ✊🫶

You bet! This is a fight for all public lands— national park or national forest. Keep the pressure on!
tRump is a dictator, not a president.
If you have republican congresspeople, contact them and demand that they resign.
They are complicit in this coup.
