This says it all. Please listen to Reina del Cid’s powerful rendition of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” after SCOTUS took away a woman’s right to choose. Every child should be wanted. We must fix this together.

Thank you Mr. President for highlighting the gift of public lands to all of us. The natural world brings out our inner child - nurturing our souls and inspiring our curiosity.
.@PeteSouza and I have traveled the world together, and he's captured some iconic shots over the years. So we decided to reflect on some of our favorite memories at national parks.
Take a look, and make sure to check out Our Great National Parks on Netflix.
Thank you Betty for opening so many eyes to our nation’s history, painful and proud! It has been a joy to watch you bring a first person account to help us understand our imperfect journey and the sacrifices made by so many who were never acknowledged. You inspire us all!
I heard Betty Reid Soskin is retiring at 100, and want to congratulate her for more than a decade of service as a National Park Ranger.
Betty, I hope you realize just how many people appreciate everything you’ve done—myself included.

, 5 SW tribes & many more who were tireless in their advocacy for Bears Ears, Grand Staircase, & NE Canyons & Seamounts NMs. In 2013-16 we worked closely with UT delegation on BENM. Don’t buy their falsehoods!
I stand with the Makah Tribe 100%. The tribe reveres grey whales as an essential part of their culture and tradition. Their treaty rights should be upheld to ensure their ability to thrive as the original stewards of these lands and waters.

Proud to be from WA where legislators & the Governor worked closely with tribes, businesses, environmental groups & rural & urban citizens to shape legislation that tangible & measurably reduces carbon emissions while supporting the economy. Passage would be a gift for Earth Day!
Oak Flat in AZ, sacred to the San Carlos Apache, should never be desecrated. Elders taught me of its importance, especially to women. It’s not about jobs. It’s about greed & exploitation by foreign mining co’s that would destroy it. I stand w/ the tribe!

Well done Nevada! From developing solar energy zones in the last decade to thoughtful use of water and a commitment to net zero emissions, you are setting a great example for states to follow on the road to a brighter future!
We are excited to see @NevClimate highlight the need for smart from the start #renewableenergy planning in the Nevada Climate Strategy!
