Protect 1.5 million acres of wilderness this year!

"A vast stretch of roadless forest high in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho. Lush, alpine river valleys just a few hours from Seattle. The wild, rocky coasts of Maine. Right now, Congress is considering a package of bills that, together, would permanently protect close to 1.5 million acres of amazing wild places like these.

More and more, Big Oil, Gas and Coal are trying to drill, frack and mine their way through our nation’s public lands. But Congress has the power to protect huge swaths of wilderness by passing these bills.

Tell your Senators and Representative that you want them to support bold legislation to protect 1.5 million acres of wild lands"
