“The values of Justice40 were fairness, equity, and respect—the heart of environmental justice,” said Rep. Sykes.

Even with its rollback, these values endure. Justice isn't a moment. It's a commitment.

With Justice40 being one of our core goals, we remain enraged by its rollback and the inefficiencies it revealed.

Rep. Sykes put it plainly:
“Funding is often spread like peanut butter. But is this method efficient?”

Nature, Environmental Justice, and Health Impacts in the H.R.1 Budget Bill: What’s Next?

americathebeautifulforall.org/insights/nat...

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

🇺🇸We worked hard to stop the worst parts of the #BudgetReconciliation bill - and we succeeded in blocking the public lands sell off.
I hope everyone takes time this #IndependenceDay to get outdoors, rest and reconnect with loved ones. Let’s savor all we are working to save. #AmericaTheBeautiful 🇺🇸

⏱️We have very little time left to stop the #BudgetReconciliation bill.

☎️Call 202-224-3121 to reach your US representatives.

😣Here is what our community is saying about what’s in the bill:

The Trump Administration Is Recklessly Axing Funding and Staff for America’s National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands The number of visitors to America’s public lands remains at an all-time high, while the Trump administration has made drastic cuts to popular agencies.

A new @AmProg analysis finds that the Trump admin’s 2026 budget would decrease funding for public land agencies by more than a third of last year’s levels. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

#NotForSale #PublicLandsinPublicHands

A challenge! Who knows the answer?

Yesterday, our Coalition members were among 2,000 New Mexicans who gathered to make clear that our public lands are NOT for sale.

We stand in solidarity with those who want to protect and conserve our beloved lands.

Celebrate Juneteenth by calling on Trump's National Park Service to tell the truth about our country's history.

The United States was largely absent from the UN Ocean Conference this week — a missed opportunity for global leadership.

Our ocean, economy, and future deserve action. #UNOC

This World Environment Day, we lift up those working to protect 30x30 for the people, with the people—because access to clean air, water, and open space should never be a privilege.

But the work hasn’t stopped. Movements like the America the Beautiful for All Coalition are advancing a vision of conservation justice—protecting nature and ensuring that Black, Indigenous, and frontline communities have a say, a stake, and a safe environment.

The climate and biodiversity crises are deeply interconnected—and so is the fight for justice. The global 30x30 goal is a bold step toward protecting nature and communities. Yet while nearly every nation on Earth has signed on, the U.S. remains on the sidelines.

“There’s a seduction to assimilation. If you assimilate, you’ll be comfortable… I don’t want to be a leader who happens to be a woman of color. I want to be a woman of color leading. It’s who I am. I show a different kind of leadership CAN succeed, a different path from assimilation.” #Upwell2025
