John,
Elon Musk and his sham Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are on a reckless mission to gut America’s national parks.
More than 1,000 National Park Service employees have already lost their jobs, along with 2,000 U.S. Forest Service workers, leaving our public lands dangerously understaffed, vulnerable to wildfires, and falling into disrepair.
Visitor centers are closing early. Trails are going unmaintained. Emergency response teams are stretched thin. And while Musk and his billionaire friends pretend to care about efficiency, it’s our communities, our environment, and our economy that are paying the price.
Congress has the power to stop this devastation, but they need to hear from YOU. These cuts are arbitrary, irresponsible, and a direct attack on our national heritage. If we don’t act now, we risk losing vital conservation efforts, wildlife protections, and outdoor recreation opportunities that millions of Americans depend on.
Tell Congress: Stop Elon Musk and DOGE from destroying our national parks!
Public lands don’t belong to billionaires. They belong to the American people.
But under DOGE’s reckless budget slashes, our national parks will be turned into neglected wastelands. The impact is already devastating:
Massive layoffs are crippling essential park operations, from trail maintenance to emergency response.
Closed campgrounds, reduced hours, and service cuts mean fewer families can experience the parks we all cherish.
Increased wildfire risk as fewer firefighters and forest rangers are available to prevent and combat blazes.
Local businesses and communities that rely on park tourism are suffering as visitor numbers decline.
These cuts are not about efficiency, they're about destroying public lands to benefit private interests.
Congress can rein in DOGE’s reckless agenda, restore funding, and ensure our national parks remain protected. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Tell Congress to stop DOGE and save our national parks!
Let’s make sure that Musk and DOGE continue unchecked, we could lose not just our parks but the vital protections that keep them safe and accessible for future generations.
