Petitioning President Obama: Make Sure ALL Families are Welcome in Our National Parks and Other Public Lands

Our national parks, forests, monuments and other public lands have played an important role as part of America’s identity. Unfortunately, these lands have not always been reflective of our country’s diversity or welcoming to all. This has to change. Our public lands must reflect, honor and engage all people -- for our families, and our future.

The Next 100 Coalition, a first-of-its-kind coalition of civil rights, environmental justice, conservation and community leaders from across the country, has created a vision statement for the next 100 years and a policy document with specific recommendations for making this inclusive new vision of conservation a reality.

Join us in calling on President Obama to issue a Presidential Memorandum to ensure the second century of conservation in America reflects the full diversity of our nation’s citizens; respects all historical, cultural and spiritual stories and unique contributions; and actively engages all people.
