I'll also add if you are a person who has never talked to a reporter before, one of the safest things is to default, explicitly start "off the record" in live convo and be upfront with the reporter that this is the first time you've done this, can they talk you through ~their~ process to reporting.

Inspired by @pronounced-ing.bsky.social's post, I'm starting a thread of flyers I'll be creating to print, post and distribute, so please share. First one is an updated version of a flyer in support of the National Park Service.

Image of a flyer to distribute in support of the National Park Service. It features an image of a white sand shoreline with water in the background and the text: "They want to sell off our National Parks

• Protected public lands generate more than $1 trillion for the economy.
• They preserve nature for campers, hikers, anglers, hunters and all citizens to enjoy.
• Yet the new House Rules package proposes to “effectively consider public lands to have no monetary value.”
• Why? To sell our parks to investors for mining or development.
• Speak up. Don't let this happen. Visit NoLandGrab.com, then call your elected representatives and urge them to defend our National Parks."

Also included are two QR codes, one to https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials and a second linking to NoLandGrab.com
