Speak Up for the Future of National Parks

John,
Right now, the National Park Service is asking the public how to improve visitor services across our parks -- but has only given us until October 9 to weigh in. At the same time, parks
are being severely affected by the government shutdown -- operating with minimal staff and facing funding shortfalls that weaken their ability to protect and serve the public.
National Parks are among our country's greatest treasures -- places where people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can connect with nature, history, and one another. If thousands
of us weigh in now, we can demand stronger protections, more resources, and a park system that truly welcomes everyone.

This is our chance to speak up and ensure parks remain welcoming, sustainable, and well-resourced for generations to come! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=efca16da415c7c9b1e99464f1aee7bdec128

Protect our parks <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=efca16da415c7c9bb8252f04663575b1cd6c4eac7d23a70d9e8310c9fead5809861012a88dd3e1a085ef9a7a68073e51d6cc15b6a871d43a3c750e9c2743bdef>
Here's what's at stake:
* Honest history and education: Parks should tell the full story of our nation, not censor it.
* Accessibility for all: From adaptive equipment to expanded shuttles and multilingual programs, everyone deserves a fair chance to experience these lands.
* Youth and veterans programs: Parks must continue to inspire the next generation of stewards and provide healing opportunities for veterans and military families.
* A strong workforce: Without park rangers, interpreters, and staff, visitor centers close, programs disappear, and safety is compromised.
* Sustainability and resilience: From cutting plastic waste to preparing for extreme weather, parks need to be built for the future.
Your voice can make a difference. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=efca16da415c7c9b8aaa9b83c617f77e7e9d0c4e751fdac3134f280ef45f8c44587f578e1b1c6d9ccbacb1d0384fa4ea71c890b69ef706e9262bbc875c67c

Thank you for speaking up!
In Solidarity,
