Congress is trying to sell our public land. NOW is the time for you to reach out to your Senators and tell them our heritage is not for sale. Yesterday, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) included language within the budget that mandates the sale of over 3.3 million acres of public lands in 11 states across the West, including Arizona. It also mandates more oil and gas leasing, expedites road construction through environmentally sensitive areas, requires mass timber sales in national forests, and other bad news.

Selling millions of acres of our public lands without a thorough public review and input process would be a huge loss to future generations of Americans. It also kicks open the door to paying for whatever Congress and the Administration wants by selling our land to the highest bidder. This is not OK. Please call your Senators TODAY and tell them public lands are not for sale, and urge them to reject Senator Lee’s proposal.

If you live in Arizona, please call Senator Mark Kelly (202-224-2235) and Senator Ruben Gallego (202-224-4521). If you live outside Arizona, you can find contact information for your Senators at www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
