So many reasons that rescinding the roadless rule is a catastrophe, but, to make one obvious point, the given logic is dumb. Trump Admin claims we need roads for fire mitigation, yet vast majority of fires *occur* near roads. They're exacerbating risk. #roadecology

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Keep calling your senators and tell them no land sales! Better yet, tell them to drop all of the #publiclands provisions.
