Day of Action

We could lose more than 350 national parks unless we come together and put an end to the reckless attacks on park staff, funding, and the parks themselves. President Trump’s extreme proposed budget cut could force literally hundreds of parks to close completely. All while the House of Representatives is pushing to cut millions of dollars and thousands of staff. We can’t let that happen.

Check out some of our advocacy resources below that you can use today and every day to make a difference in protecting America’s national parks!

You can also join an event near you to advocate against the latest threats against national parks. Parks need your help in the fight to preserve our shared history and heritage.
