Cynthia A @cynthiaarmour.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Our ask? Speak up for public lands! America's parks run on rangers, and by firing them, we're endangering our lands. The NPS is under fire – a rhetorical fire which, left unmanaged, could burn down American’s best idea. 121
Cynthia A @cynthiaarmour.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Call your representatives: ask them to take a stand. Call the folks who represents your favorite national park: tell them you’re worried about being able to visit & spend $$ in their district. Call after hours if you prefer to not speak to someone. Your call matters. www.congress.gov/members/find...congress.gov 111
Cynthia A @cynthiaarmour.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Of the ~20,000 people the NPS employs (perm, temp, & seasonal), 1,000 were fired on Valentine’s Day. 6-8K seasonal jobs were cut. Custodial staff, biologists, firefighters, and EMTs. Interpretive rangers, wildlife management rangers, plumbers. Fired, offers rescinded, job postings deleted. #resist 130
