California's own Senator Alex Padilla has introduced The PUBLIC Lands Act to Congress, which would protect over 1 million acres of public lands and over 500 miles of rivers in the state.

Public lands are iconic destinations where we go to spend time with family and friends and find solace in nature. But did you know that public lands are among the most effective ways to address the climate crisis according to scientists?

These landscapes are extremely effective at sequestering carbon, maintaining ecosystems and biodiversity, providing clean drinkable water, and inspiring people to be passionate about the environment.

Demand Congress protect our public lands for the sake of our climate, our health, and our future.
