Save Our Forests (USFS)

Hey @YETI, @LLBean, @KEEN, @SITKAGear, @Backcountry, @Arcteryx -- Trump just ordered the most devastating dismantling of the US Forest Service in 121 years. All 10 regional offices gone. 57 research stations closed. 193 million acres handed to political appointees.

***You built your brand on (OUR) public lands.*** Where is your voice?

(Please share/copy on your other accounts. It's sh*t that these companies are using our public lands for their brands but won't speak up on behalf of the forests. Where is the reciprocity? Where is the honor?)

I just gave a webinar about the submissions process at a publisher, and the topic of ethical, sensitive writing about people of color came up. I often refer writers to this website. https://writingwithcolor.com/ (I'm not affiliated, but I applaud their work!)
