On federal firingsAs you may already know, over the last several weeks Elon Musk’s DOGE team has fired thousands of rangers, educators, scientists, and caretakers of the National Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. Unless they are reversed, these mass firings will hurt protected lands, wildlife, and visitors.
Firing these dedicated public servants will make our parks and public lands less accessible, less safe, and more prone to permanent damage. Firing thousands of employees with no notice and no reason is also cruel, leaving individuals unable to serve in the places they love without jobs, losing their paychecks and health insurance. These reckless cuts will result in the loss of important access programs, effective public land management, and critical institutional knowledge.
We need you to speak out and urge Congress to roll back these job cuts. Click here and tell Congress why it is important to stand up for our national parks, monuments, forests, and public lands, and those who are dedicated to protecting these precious places.
I hope to see you on the trail soon!
