Tell Congress and the President to Fund and Support Our National Parks - Now and Forever!

Dear Congress Member, Senator, and Decision Maker*:
We, citizens of the United States of America, support our nation’s most precious and popular resource, its National Parks. There is nothing more American than the rugged open spaces, wild rivers, and majestic mountains of the American country, which is cared fordiligently by the National Park Service (NPS). 
Last year, the NPS reported the highest visitation in its history, at 331.9 million visits. This is nearly equal to every citizen in the nation visiting our parks once in 2024. 
Because our National Parks are incredibly popular, they are often overcrowded and in
need of care, which is why funding and staffing for the historic agency are
both vital. The National Park Service supports 415,400 American jobs, when factoring in local consumer spending and creates $55.6 billion in economic output. Not only that, but in the past decade visitation has increased by 10 percent while staffing has decreased by 3 percent. That doesn't add up!
We urge you to continue to support what makes America, America – its beautiful mountains, its oceans and rivers, its wildlife and waterfalls, and the incredible rangers and civil servants who are tasked with protecting and restoring our great nation. 
Sincerely,
*Please note the letter will go to your Congressperson, Senator and the President.

Why is this important?

Let's put our people power to work in Washington DC - and support our National Parks! 
The President, the Senate and the House must fund the government by October 1, or the government shuts down. Partisan politics may continue to poorly affect our Nation's Best Idea, notably, one with bipartisan support for time immemorial. We Americans love our parks, and they love us! 
See the bipartisan House letter to the President, the Glowing Economic Report on National Parks, and finally, the report on negative results of the firings, early retirements, and funding freeze.
Let's fully fund our parks - in 2026 - and beyond!
