Republican Lawmakers are Trying to Sell Our Public Land
Public Land Warriors is Determined to Stop Them
OUR MISSION IS CLEAR – PLW will pressure Republican lawmakers in every handful of districts until they oppose their party’s efforts to sell and degrade our public land. We will do it immediately, every day. We will make them understand that not standing up to their party will have consequences.
Republican Lawmakers have made public lands a political issue. They cheer as our management agencies are dismantled and celebrate as they include selling our land in their party platforms; they even openly support using the proceeds to fund tax breaks.
Democrats are unified in opposition, but polite nonprofits and the old Democratic machine are not built for this. Republican Lawmakers in Congress are steamrolling, and they’ve handed power to a wrecking crew hell-bent on dismantling everything we’ve spent generations protecting.
Piece by piece. Acre by acre. Until there’s nothing left!
