At midnight on Tuesday, the federal government will shut down unless Congress passes a funding bill. Workers across the country will be furloughed. Many government functions will grind to a halt. National parks – already pushed to the brink – will be forced to get by with even fewer staff and resources.
Even worse, the administration is threatening another massive round of firings. It’s no exaggeration to say that the next few weeks could see national parks left without the staffing, funding and support they desperately need -- permanently.
Congress has only a few hours left to prevent a government shutdown and keep parks protected. Send a message right now and tell them that park lovers want to keep the government open and our parks staffed.
