BREAKING NEWS: #PublicLands sell-off proposal has been withdrawn by Senator Lee (UT). Congratulations to all who worked with us to keep #PublicLandsinPublicHands!

We’re not done yet: Keep calling your Senators to STOP aggressive, reckless drilling, mining & logging on our public lands and waters.

Congress wants to sell off up to 3 million acres of public land — slipped into the budget reconciliation bill with no hearings, no plan, no consent.

Join us Mon 6/23 at 3 PM ET for an emergency briefing. Let’s stop this.

Shantha Ready Alonso at #Upwell2025 : Nature loves diversity, and to be against diversity contradicts nature.

Power requires us to know each other, and lean on each other. This requires coalitions, which share resources, play to our strengths, and divvy up the work.

“Resilience is for objects, not people. Calling people ‘resilient’ is a white supremacist tool. If a person is ‘resilient,’ I don’t have to pour into you. I don’t have to make you whole.”

I’m heartbroken to hear the news about President Biden’s diagnosis. Like so many, I’m praying for his full and speedy recovery. Joe Biden has spent his life fighting for working families—and I know with that same strength, he’ll fight and overcome this too.
