To everyone who showed up, spoke up, and fought back for public lands this week — thank you. While an amendment to nullify the Roadless Rule passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday along party lines, the fight isn’t over. The bill will now move to the Senate floor, and we, along with our community and our conservation partners will be watching. We’ve put additional resources in our bio link to help reach out to your senators
The fight continues, and in the meantime, we can still celebrate the wins. Utah Senator Mike Lee’s effort to undo protections on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by a simple majority exceeded its deadline this week, and it must now face a larger 60-vote majority. This means it’s less likely to pass, and protections are more likely to stay in place. As always, nothing is guaranteed and we’ll need to keep pressure on lawmakers.
Thanks again for being part of our community and for joining us in speaking up. As outdoor enthusiasts, we can all do our part in protecting the public lands that allow us to play and thrive
