speak up for your
public lands
Step 1. Add your name
Tell Congress:
As your constituent and a proud Coloradan, I care deeply about our public lands. From national forests to national parks, these places are central to our state’s identity and way of life.
Recent efforts at the federal level to facilitate the sale of public lands put Colorado’s lands—and the communities who depend on them—at serious risk. Selling off or privatizing public lands would limit public access and strip away environmental protections that safeguard our air, water, and wildlife, leaving Colorado’s communities to bear the consequences.
Once our shared outdoor heritage is lost, we cannot get it back. I urge you to stand up for our public lands and reject any proposal that would sell off or privatize them.
Sincerely,
Your Name

Body: Dear [Representative/Senator],
As your constituent and a proud Coloradan, I’m writing to urge you to oppose any proposal that would sell off or privatize our public lands.
From national forests to national parks, these lands are a vital part of Colorado’s identity. But efforts at the federal level to facilitate the sale and privatization of public lands put our lands — and the communities that depend on them — at serious risk. Once our conservation heritage is lost, we can’t get it back.
Please stand up for Colorado and defend the rights of all Americans to access and enjoy our public lands.
Sincerely,

🚫 Colorado is NOT for sale.
Federal efforts to sell off or privatize our national public lands risk our way of life. Our forests, trails, rivers, and parks are not commodities to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. They are part of who we are.
That’s not a future I’m willing to accept — and I bet you aren’t either.
🖊️ Take action now to tell Colorado’s elected officials: Keep public lands in public hands.
