With the deadline just hours away, we're still short of our $20,000 goal to mount a powerful defense of the millions of acres of public lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

We're so close. But we urgently need your support now to ensure we're ready to fight back against any attempts to sell off America's public lands to the highest bidder. Will you make a tax-deductible gift right now to help put us over the top?

GIVE NOW TO DEFEND PUBLIC LANDS

Here's the situation:

Last month, the administration repealed the BLM Public Lands Rule—prioritizing drilling and mining over conservation, outdoor recreation and the future of the places that belong to us all.

Here's what's at stake:

Without the Public Lands Rule, the administration is free to cater to the extractive industries that have long sought to profit from our shared public lands. And with Steve Pearce—who spent years in Congress pushing to privatize public lands and weaken conservation protections—now running the BLM, there's no question he'll be more than willing to do their bidding. That means even more attacks are coming on wild places that are sacred to communities…the habitats where wildlife thrive…the lands and waters where we hike, camp, fish and spend time with loved ones enjoying the beauty of our natural world.

Here's why we need your help today:

We have weathered headwinds like these before—and we know that when we stick together and fight, we are a powerful force for public lands. We're doing all we can to protect our shared wild places in the courts, in Congress and in communities nationwide, but the scope and scale of our defense depends on support from supporters like you.

We need to reach our $20,000 goal by midnight—and we need your help to get there. Rush a gift to help keep our public lands protected for generations to come >>

Thank you for everything you do for public lands,
