A Call to Action from the Desert Drifter's Wife

Hi everyone, Thank you for taking the time to watch this video! Please excuse the janky quality - this was my attempt to raise awareness for the public land portion of the One Big Beautiful Bill while working with a few hours at home before heading out of service for the coming week :) Here are some further resources below: Education (I encourage you to do your own research as well!) - https://www.npr.org/2025/06/24/nx-s1-5442481/proposal-to-sell-millions-of-acres-of-public-lands-may-be-cut-from-trumps-mega-bill https://www.npca.org/articles/8792-position-on-h-r-1-one-big-beautiful-bill-act https://www.outdooralliance.org/blog/2025/5/22/land-sell-offs-removed-from-spending-bill-but-its-still-bad https://www.outdooralliance.org/blog/2025/6/25/senator-mike-lee-revives-push-to-sell-public-landstargeting-close-to-home-recreation-areas https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/public-lands-sales-table-congress-looks-ways-raise-revenue Site to filter for your state senator's contact information - https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com Voicemail/email template: Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City, State or Zip Code]. I’m calling to strongly oppose the public lands section of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” Opening over a million acres of public land for sale or development is unacceptable. These lands belong to the public — not private developers or extractive industries. [Optional: Insert a personal reason you care about public lands — e.g., “I hike with my kids in these forests,” “I rely on these areas for my small guiding business,” “I’m a veteran who finds peace in nature.”] I urge the Senator to reject any bill that threatens our shared natural heritage. Please protect our public lands and vote no. Thank you.
