Keep Kids Outdoors: Support the Every Kid Outdoors Reauthorization Act
The Every Kid Outdoors program offers every fourth grader and their family free entry to national parks, forests, refuges, and public lands. This program breaks down financial barriers and ensures all children can enjoy the benefits of time outside -- healthier bodies, stronger minds, and lasting connections to our shared public lands.
The newly introduced Every Kid Outdoors Reauthorization Act permanently authorizes the program and expands it to include fifth graders. This is not a new program -- it’s a highly popular and cost-effective way to ensure every child gets to experience America the beautiful, planting the seeds for their lifelong engagement with parks and public lands.
Tell the Senate: Stand Up For Our Forests!
One of the first bills to pass the House in the 119th Congress was the "Fix Our Forests Act." This bill, which is named to sound like a good thing, makes it easier for corporate polluters to log forests on public land by bypassing environmental reviews and public input. Now this bill is making its way through the Senate.
Meanwhile, on March 1st, Trump signed an Executive Order to "Increase Domestic Timber Production." This EO opens the door for our forests to be used for nothing more than corporate gain. In the long run, this will worsen the effects of climate change, while also destroying critical wildlife habitat. It will also increase fire risk by logging our most fire resilient trees: mature and old growth.
Protect Our Waters: Stop the "Permission to Pollute Act"
Congress is considering a dangerous bill that strips away Clean Water Act protections, ties the hands of states and tribes, shields polluters, and threatens the health of our communities. This bill would give polluters a free pass at the expense of clean water, public health, and the environment.
