Defend Wildness
Alt National Parks has been leading the resistance for years, and now they want your help. The ask: call REI, Patagonia and other businesses that rely on wild spaces to demand they speak up against the Trump administration’s land grab.
The regime is closing more than 50 research sites and “restructuring” the agency. As we all know, that means downsizing and replacing professionals with loyalists. We fight back.
How to do it:
The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders. Here is the plan to stop it slow it down in court, then win the 2026 midterms and elect a Congress that will block it permanently.
We need pressure and we need it now. These companies built their entire business on these lands. It’s time they said so out loud. Contact them today. Use this message:
“The Forest Service is being dismantled. Your business runs on these lands. We need you to speak out publicly, lobby your congressional representatives, and be ready to fund the legal fight that is coming. Silence is a choice. Your customers are watching.”

Example: On REI’s website click the blue chat bubble in the bottom right corner, then click the green “Chat With Us” button at the bottom and then paste the message there.
Most of these sites work the same way. They make you go through chat or a phone call. If that’s too much, go to their social media pages and drop this message in the comments on several of their posts. Ten minutes. Do it today. Then share this so others do too. A handful of emails does nothing. Thousands change minds. Be one of thousands.
