Friend — Just weeks before Earth Day, the Trump administration is moving to throw open our public lands to destructive strip mining. A recently signed executive order declares mining “the primary land use” across millions of acres of federal public land.
|
|
|
Our nation’s public lands belong to all of us. But the Trump administration wants to hand them over to corporate polluters, obliterating protections for national monuments.
|
|
|
Trump’s plan is facing bipartisan opposition from people across the country — and that means we have a real opportunity to build grassroots support nationwide to reject the order.
|
|
|
We need your help to reach 400 new LCV members before Earth Day so we can effectively raise our collective voices and protect our public lands.

By renewing your membership today, you’ll help:
|
|
|
- Organize protests like the Hands Off! protest this past weekend that brought millions of people to the streets across the country, including in red and blue states, where constituents are standing up against Trump’s plan to hand public lands over to corporate polluters.
- Train grassroots activists across the country to advocate for their communities and protect them from drilling, mining, and other energy exploitation in nearby public lands.
- Push Congress to defend public lands instead of allowing the Trump administration to poison the soil, air, and water that local communities and wildlife rely on.

|
Let’s join forces with communities and advocates across the country to protect our nation’s public lands and demand that Congress prioritize clean energy over fossil fuels. If we do so, I’m certain we can win.

|
Thanks for standing with us, Friend. Together, we can stop our nation’s public lands from being sold off to the highest bidder.
