🔥 What’s Happening

Congress is trying to sell off public lands — including parcels around Lake Tahoe — by hiding it inside a budget bill.

No vote. No public input. Just gone.

This includes USFS and BLM lands where we camp, hike, fish, and live.

We’re organizing to stop it. You can help.

This is the full text of the Senate bill including the Lee Amendment that contains Section 702.

🔍 What’s in those pages:

• Directs the Secretary of Interior & Agriculture to sell 0.5%–0.75% of USFS and BLM land
• Requires a minimum target revenue from those sales
• Bypasses NEPA (environmental review) for the sale process
• Allows proceeds to be used for deficit reduction — not conservation

We want people to read it themselves. Transparency matters.

🗺️ Why It Matters

• 💚 These lands are our local playgrounds and ecological treasures
• 🛑 If we don’t act now, these parcels could be sold without our voice
