Call to Action: Keep Our Public Lands in Public Hands— Send Your Video Testimony To Congress

America’s lawmakers are weighing proposals that would make it easier to sell off the very lands we hunt, fish, and recreate on—from late-night amendments speeding disposal of federal acres in Utah and Nevada to efforts that would strip safeguards nationwide.

Now is your moment in the arena.

What We’re Asking

Record a personal, 60-second video telling your members of Congress why public lands matter to you and why any attempt to liquidate them is unacceptable. No form letters, no copy-and-paste talking points—just your authentic voice.

How It Works

1. Enter your address in the action tool so we can match you with your U.S. senators and representative.

2. Hit “Record” (phone or computer cam—vertical or horizontal). You have up to one minute.

3. Send. Your video drops straight into your lawmakers’ inboxes, demonstrating real constituents care about keeping public lands public.

Tips for a Powerful Video

• Be real. Share a quick story—your child’s first turkey hunt, the solace of a backcountry trout stream, the elk camp that built family traditions.

• Stay focused. State your name, town, and one clear message: “Please oppose any sale or transfer of our public lands"

• Mind the clock. Under 60 seconds keeps staff watching.

• Good light & sound. Face a window, minimize wind, speak up.

Why It Matters

Public lands fuel local economies, safeguard wildlife habitat, and give every American—hunter, angler, hiker, or bird-watcher—an equal stake in the outdoors. Losing even a slice to private sale erodes that birthright and fragments the habitat science-based management depends on. Your story is the most persuasive evidence lawmakers can hear.

Step up, hit record, and defend the lands that define our hunting and angling heritage.
