Deadline: Ongoing Action
Why this Matters
The Siuslaw National Forest, the Coast Range, the trails and rivers and quiet BLM corners we wander on a day off: those are public lands. They belong to all of us, which is exactly why they are worth defending.
Earlier this year, Senator Mike Lee pushed a proposal that would have forced the sale of public lands across 11 states, Oregon among them. It was pulled from the Senate reconciliation bill, and that win happened for one reason: people from all over the country spoke up, loud and together. It is proof that grassroots pressure still works.
The fight is not over. Senator Lee and others have made clear they will try again to sell off our shared natural heritage. So now is the moment to remind Congress, while the last victory is fresh, that our national public lands are not for sale and never should be. It takes a minute, and it keeps the pressure where it belongs.
Steps to Take
Send your message to Congress. Use Oregon Wild's action form to tell your representatives that our national public lands are not for sale. It takes about a minute.
Share it. Forward this to neighbors who hike, fish, hunt, or just love wild places. The last win happened because enough people refused to stay quiet.
Stay ready. This proposal will be back in some form. Keeping public pressure visible now makes the next fight easier to win.
