The app for independent voices

On Monday, Utah politicians and Trump Interior officials gathered behind closed doors to secretly rewrite who controls your national parks. They called it a brainstorming session. It was nothing of the sort.

They demanded more roads, more crowds, more access for OHVs, more authority for the state during shutdowns, and less federal oversight. They did not discuss conservation once.

The meeting was built to dodge transparency laws and filled with anti-public lands operatives. One goal. Shift power from the country to the state. Start small. Make it seem normal. Then push for ownership.

This is how public lands get stolen.

Share it with someone who understands that secrecy is not a management plan.
