Oppose the House reconciliation bill

The House of Representatives advanced legislation that would reshape the National Park System as we know it.

This House bill proposes:

eliminating all remaining Inflation Reduction Act funding for the National Park Service, including $267 million originally set aside to increase park staffing and combat the climate crisis;
further reductions in staff to an already understaffed National Park Service;
accelerated oil and gas leasing near public lands, which places nearby parks like Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Teton, and Dinosaur National Monument at risk;
and greenlighting mining in the watershed of Voyageurs National Park.

This bill doubles down on the Trump administration’s catastrophic actions that could dismantle a 100-year-old institution.

But it’s not too late. Our senators can still save our public lands from the House's disastrous bill, but we must urge them to act now and oppose it, before we become the generation who put profit over people, and the parks we have spent over 100 years protecting.

As a supporter of our national parks, I urge you to oppose H.R.1, the House-passed reconciliation bill. This is an anti-national parks bill.  
 
NPS has been understaffed for over a decade. But H.R. 1 cuts funding for national park staffing and programs.

The oil and gas industry should be paying their fair share when drilling on public lands and waters. But this bill promotes more drilling while lowering the rates that oil and companies pay to drill. And the bill promotes destructive projects like mining in the watershed of Voyageurs National Park.

The House even tried to sell off public lands right next door to Zion National Park. While that provision was dropped, the Senate most hold the line and ensure public lands stay in public hands.

This bill is the opposite of what is needed and could do irreparable harm to our parks. It is an effort to dismantle the National Park Service. I urge you to oppose this bill and these dangerous provisions when the Senate takes up reconciliation.
