What happens next? The Bureau of Land Management must take public comments into review and reach a final decision. It’s clear that our fight to protect our public lands is NOT OVER. But we will pull every lever we have to make sure that our public lands will NEVER be for sale.

The public spoke out. Opposition is loud and overwhelming! 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.

Then, Trump moved to repeal the landmark Public Lands Rule. The Public Lands Rule protects millions of acres of our public lands, including 13,000 square miles in Colorado. Removing it would reduce critical conservation efforts.

We fought back. We challenged their efforts by introducing an amendment to remove the provision — all while keeping the public pressure on. And it worked. Public land sales were ruled out of Trump’s megabill.

This summer, Republicans tried to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder. They tried to add it into their so-called “Big Beautiful Bill’ to fund tax cuts for America’s ultra-wealthy.
