Hands Off Our Lands

National parks, wild lands, and even private property are at risk of being sold to the highest bidder

Opportunists, predatory land developers, and extremist members of Congress: Keep your hands off our lands!

We’re fiercely – and rightly – protective of our public lands, national parks, and our right to responsibly hunt, fish, hike, bird watch, and more on the beautiful wildlands this country has to offer.

But with the budget crisis, an understaffed federal workforce, and climate change-driven storms and wildfires, our lands are at risk – of development, defunding, and robber barons ready to drink their natural resources dry if it can make them a buck.

Wildfires have hit Maui, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest hard over the past few years – with increasing frequency and intensity. In Texas, flash flooding and outdated infrastructure have resulted in property damage and preventable deaths.
