Tell Trump: Yosemite Is Not for Sale

Donald Trump’s Interior Department wants to carve off a piece of Yosemite and hand it to a private developer. We're not going to let them get away with it.

The Trump administration has been quietly working on a deal that could give a strip of land or special access inside Yosemite National Park to a real estate developer seeking to build a private road.

Yosemite is not just another piece of federal property. It is ancient sequoias, granite cliffs, waterfalls, meadows, wildlife, sacred history, and one of the most beloved public places on Earth. It belongs to all of us — not to Trump, not to political appointees, and not to developers looking for a private shortcut.

Tell Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum: Yosemite is not for sale. Stop any deal that would hand Yosemite land, access, or special privileges to private developers.

If the Trump administration can get away with selling out Yosemite, no national park is safe. Today it is a road. Tomorrow it could be luxury developments, private enclaves, commercial carve-outs, and more backroom deals that turn public treasures into playgrounds for the wealthy.

Our national parks were protected so every generation could experience them — not so one administration could slice them up for private profit. Families save for years to visit Yosemite. People travel from across the world to stand beneath El Capitan, walk among giant sequoias, and see a landscape that still feels bigger than politics. Treating that land like an asset to be sold off is a betrayal.

Add your name to our petition to demand Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stop this giveaway before it opens the door to more privatization of our national parks.

The petition to Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum reads: "Stop any deal that would give Yosemite National Park land, access, easements, or special privileges to private developers. Yosemite belongs to the people, and it must remain fully protected as public land."
