Protect our National Parks and Public Lands

Public lands belong to the people — not the fossil fuel industry. But a recent power grab threatens to hand over control of our national parks and 500 million acres of public land to Big Oil.
 
Without Senate confirmation, former oil and gas executive Tyler Hassen has been appointed to a powerful leadership role at the Department of the Interior. And on April 24, the Trump-appointed Interior Secretary signed an order granting him sweeping control over the agency’s budget and operations — with no public input or oversight.
 
Hassen’s deep industry ties are incompatible with protecting public lands. This move signals a dangerous shift: from conservation to exploitation.
 
Tell your members of Congress: our public lands are not for sale.

Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling to demand [REP/SEN NAME] protect our National Parks and public lands by opposing DOGE employee Tyler Hassen's appointment to Assistant Secretary of Policy Management and Budget of the Interior. Hassen’s extensive history as an oil and gas executive is completely at odds with the preservation and management of public lands, and DOGE has no place in management of our public lands.
