Action Hour: Keep DOGE Hands off our Public Lands

 

Sierra Club's virtual Action Hours are an opportunity to take meaningful action to protect our environment in just one hour each month. By joining us, you'll get briefings on the latest news and act alongside thousands of people around the country. Whether you're new to advocacy or want to practice your skills, this space is for you. Reserve your spot on Wednesday, March 26, for our Public Lands Action Hour! I'm In Right now is a critical moment in the fight to protect our parks, forests, and public lands and ensure that we can continue to enjoy and explore them for generations to come. If you haven't been keeping up with the news or feel like you don't know enough, that's okay! We'll start the Action Hour with a briefing from Sierra Club experts on the latest updates about Trump's destructive agenda and its impact on visitors, civil servants like the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service staff, and the ecosystems they protect. Then, we'll walk you through two ways to fight back and take action together during the call: writing handwritten letters to our Members of Congress and reaching out to friends to get them involved too. Sign up to join us on Wednesday, March 26. What: Public Lands Action Hour Where: Streamed on Youtube or Facebook. RSVP for the link to join. When: Wednesday, March 26, at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET We will be handwriting letters and/or creating artwork to show our Members of Congress how important public lands are to us! Please gather any supplies you will need, at least a pen and paper, before the action hour begins. You can also type up your letter on your computer or phone if you don't want to handwrite it. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)'s actions are more than just political moves -- they directly attack the natural spaces we hold dear and threaten our rights to enjoy our public lands. Trump and the billionaires who bought access to him are systematically undermining our land management agencies, unjustly firing the workers who steward these lands, and leaving America's national treasures unprotected. But we can help stop it! In last month's February Action Hour alone, more than 3,500 of you joined to learn how to make effective phone calls to our members of Congress and write letters to the editor to local news outlets. Thanks to you, we made over 4,000 phone calls to Congress and shared over 1,000 letters. Right now, our senators and representatives are back home in their states and districts for the March Congressional Recess. When they're back in DC, we'll need to keep up the pressure to urge Congress to protect our health and environment from corporate polluters who bought access to Trump, which means demanding they stop selling off our public lands to the highest bidder. Join us for a Public Lands Action Hour -- it's a great way for you to take focused, effective action in just one hour each month alongside thousands of other concerned, overwhelmed, dedicated advocates. RSVP Here If you can't make it live, sign up anyway and we'll send you the recording with info on how to take the actions whenever it works best for you. See you soon, Sierra Club P.S.
