Our parks face more than understaffing. A wave of federal personnel actions is destabilizing the very workforce that protects them: ⚠️ “Loyalty” tests in hiring ⚠️ Weakened job protections ⚠️ Limits on performance reviews PEER warns: “We are witnessing the unraveling.” peer.org/commentary-p...
Congress must hear loud and clear: Americans will not stand by while one of the defining pillars of our national identity is undermined. Here are 4 actions they must take to save our national parks. Read the full report: bit.ly/4mEWfxI

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.
SATURDAY! National monuments are under threat. Join or plan a rally at your nearest monument to support them! Or, join online by signing the petition and using the call script. Let’s stand together and stand up for public lands 💪
Manongs - the first wave of Filipino immigrants to America - worked under harsh labor conditions. But the combined leadership of their unions striking alongside César Chávez changed those conditions for future generations. #AAPIheritagemonth
New signs at parks could have a chilling effect on rangers just trying to do their jobs and tell the truth. This new order sets a dangerous precedent of prioritizing nostalgia over truth.
This Administration’s 2026 budget isn’t just a rollback, it’s a plan to dismantle the National Park Service and erase vital pieces of our history. Watch the video to learn more and speak up before it’s too late: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_LE...

MORE GOOD NEWS (in a bad budget)! Thanks to your calls and pressure, the House budget bill *no longer includes* the sale of public lands. A lot of other problematic stuff, yeah--but hundreds of thousands of acres are (for now) slated to stay public! When we get loud, we can make a difference 💪
The Bureau of Land Management issues leases for oil and gas exploration and development, and the proximity to national parks means that many have direct adverse environmental impacts. Want to be a park advocacy pro? Check out our advocacy crash course: www.npca.org/campaigns/na...
GOOD NEWS - A federal judge has indefinitely paused President Trump's sweeping overhaul of the federal government.
The House is voting this week on Trump's budget proposal--which means, they're voting on whether or not it's okay to sell off public lands. We need to get loud and tell them we won't let them.

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum is doing a tour of public lands....while actively gutting them and planning to fire their staff. Did he really think he could get away with that? Yikes. Some parks fans at Olympic didn't let him get off easy! ⬇️⬇️

The hits keep coming, y’all. In a new move in their continued dismantling of the National Park Service, the Trump administration, hundreds of employees were removed from their position as rangers. Employees were told Friday afternoon they were being “consolidated” to the Department of the Interior.
More meaningless performative non-resistance from @altnps.bsky.social . For real resistance in the national parks follow the Resistance Rangers @resistancerangers.bsky.social .
A win for democracy, and our national parks. 🌲🏛️ Yesterday, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to block the Trump admin’s sweeping, unlawful plan to downsize the federal government without Congress.
By the way @altnps.bsky.social this is cut and pasted from a Washington Post article. For real news on national parks try National Parks Traveler @parkstraveler.bsky.social or follow the @resistancerangers.bsky.social
Only 63 @altnps.bsky.social ? The National Park System has 433 units, including national parks, monuments, historic sites, recreation areas, etc. To find people who know what they’re talking about follow the Resistance Rangers @resistancerangers.bsky.social

📣 Lose 3/4 of our National Park System? Absolutely not 🚫 Tell Congress to reject President Trump's reckless proposed budget at npca.org/worstbudgetever 👎
We love to see it! Thank you to the many unions and nonprofits stepping up to fight We are stronger together!
New info from NPS internal communications! ‼️🌲 Park staff are in danger. We need YOU to tell the Department of the Interior to stop staff cuts. 📞 🧑💻 Internal communications say that up to 1500 people—mostly behind-the-scenes staff—will be fired, likely in the next two weeks.
Your lotto numbers suck, @altnps.bsky.social. For real resistance in the national parks, follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social .
❗ UPDATE: NPCA has calculated that the president’s proposed budget cuts could shutter at least 350 national parks sites across the country – effectively more than 75% of our National Park System. www.npca.org/articles/849...
@altnps.bsky.social Don’t say “let’s.” You’re not going to do anything. For real resistance in the national parks follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social .
@altnps.bsky.social Just stop already. For real resistance in the national parks follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social .
@altnps.bsky.social barely even pretending to pretend to be a resistance.
The NPS cannot afford one more layoff It’s time to show DOI that WE ARE WATCHING 👀 Are you ready? They can’t gut the NPS in silence, hiding behind the facade of open park gates Use the script (linked in bio) to call/email Sec. Burgum and let him know these staff and programs are NEEDED ☎️ 📝
@altnps.bsky.social Utter nonsense.
@altnps.bsky.social No link to organizers?
Our next call to action is here! ✊ Resistance Rangers invites you to host a community-building gathering to celebrate #NationalParksWeek 👯♀️👯 The goal? To build networks of trust so we are ready for the next protest or action to protect public lands. (It’s coming...)
@altnps.bsky.social Who’s “we?” You weren’t there. Rangers are resisting without you. Follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social
“Capitulation just means being the first fed into the meat grinder. Resistance may not guarantee victory or safety, but it at least gives the country a fighting chance.” - @amandamarcotte.bsky.social
National Park Week kicks off today, but parks aren’t as “open & accessible” as this admin claims. Rangers retiring early, volunteers overburdened & facilities neglected. Visits ↑15% since 2010 & staffing levels ↓15%. We’re sounding the alarm! RT & follow us to stay informed.
We’re back again today to celebrate and FIGHT FOR ✊ our essential colleagues at regional and national programs threatened by a new round of mass firings Today: #NoParksWithout ✨youth and volunteers!✨ Comment if you’ve ever had an internship or volunteer experience that helped shape your career 💚
Some are doing nothing and pretending otherwise: @altnps.bsky.social
If you’re tired of this @altnps.bsky.social nonsense and want real resistance for our national parks, follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social .
NPS is preparing for more firings. But they know parks are popular, so they’re trying to hide these cuts while gutting NPS from the inside out They’re planning to go after regional and national offices. You wont meet these staff in a park, but they're specialists who are the backbone of the NPS 💚
@altnps.bsky.social thinks a plane will crash if they don’t post these numbers.
@altnps.bsky.social No you haven’t. You don’t do anything. You’re as safe from a witch hunt as you can get.
@altnps.bsky.social There’s nothing to explain. It’s performative resistance.
@altnps.bsky.social Complete horseshit. You haven’t done anything. You have no coalition.
You can watch the recording of the meeting at doi.gov/live (for now)
We’re hoping this clears stuff up. Other wild moments included: -Claiming Japan lost World War II because “they ran out of energy.” -Claiming overpopulation isn’t a threat because wealth brings a lower birth rate. -A slide that said “MAP BABY MAP.” -Ending by blasting Higher by Creed.
On April 9th, Secretary Doug Burgum held an “All Hands Meeting” for all employees in the Department of the Interior. This meeting was going to highlight the work that the department has done “make the transition to the Trump administration so smooth.” ....right. He made some WILD claims.
@altnps.bsky.social Is Our Parks, where you sell the tee shirts, a tax exempt nonprofit in the USA? I can’t find you listed. What’s your EIN?
@altnps.bsky.social No you haven’t been. When’s your next voter registration drive?
If pretending to spectate pretend resistance is your thing, then @altnps.bsky.social is the account for you. For real resistance in the national parks follow @resistancerangers.bsky.social.
Good to see you making yourself useful for once, Corporate Backer. Maybe you’ll represent New Jersey someday.
