Great news: the Public Lands Sell-off Amendment ha Great news: the Public Lands Sell-off Amendment has been removed from the House Reconciliation Bill! 

“As we hoped would be the case, Rep. Maloy’s stunt failed. She’s just the latest in a long list of politicians with the bad idea to try and sell off public lands,” said Travis Hammill, DC Director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA). “The through line of those failed efforts is this: love of public lands transcends geography and political party. Americans don’t want to see these lands sold off and time and time again have risen up to make their voices heard.”

Full statement at the link in our bio.
As we type this, the House Rules Committee is STIL As we type this, the House Rules Committee is STILL in progress. They're considering the House Budget Bill (the "Big Beautiful Bill"), which contains the Public Lands Sell-off Amendment (forcing the sale of at least 500,000 acres of public lands - including 11,000 + Utah). 

Over 100 organizations have signed letters calling on Congressional leadership to drop the amendment: Read more at the link in our bio. #protectwildutah

📍Red Mountain Wilderness Area
Beaver Dam Wash. Santa Clara River Reserve. Red Mo Beaver Dam Wash. Santa Clara River Reserve. Red Mountain Wilderness. Zion National Park. These are just a few of the places at risk from Rep. Maloy's Public Lands Sell-off Amendment—read more in our latest blog post: (link in bio) or visit suwa.org 

This Amendment bypassed standard legislative procedures, allowed no meaningful debate, and was blatantly timed to evade public scrutiny. The amendment is now part of a larger budget plan which Republicans hope to pass by Memorial Day— but it still has to get through the Rules Committee and be voted on by the entire House of Representatives. If the budget plan passes in the House, it will head to the Senate.

REACH OUT TO YOUR REPS *TODAY* and urge them to VOTE NO on the House Budget Bill and its sell-off of public lands! Call or email them using our easy online action tool: suwa.org/callyourrep
