Public Trust
The fight for America’s Public Land

Open to RISD Community.

As an extinction crisis looms and climate change continues to be one of the greatest threats our planet has ever faced, America’s 640 million acres of public lands support biodiversity and carbon sequestration. It’s essential that we fight for their protection by preventing the slashing of the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, fighting the potential permanent destruction of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
in Minnesota, and stopping the de facto
sale of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
—one of the last wild places in America.
