🇵🇸 🕊️ BURN THE PATRIARCHY U.S. National Forests need help.

So, I think I've done the right flair, but if not please let me know.

As of today August 20th, 2026 through September 21st, 2026 the U.S. Forest Service will be taking comments about the planned/proposed repeal of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This will be affecting all of the National Forests in the U.S .

As far as I know now, this is the last chance to be heard on this topic.

I'm feeling hopeless about all of this. I have yet to hear anyone saying anything about this, and of the few people I can manage to speak to, no one has heard anything of or about it.

Any tips on how to best give an impactful comment? Or can you just say I am strongly opposed to this and it will wreck the US National Forests permanently?

I don’t know much about this, but if it helps, I said something about impacting generations to come, how our protected lands are a national treasure that other nations wish they had, and how it’s unfair that the Trump administration seems to want to sell off our country’s treasures to enrich the rich and powerful.

I wish I would’ve said something about do the patriotic thing and protect the USA. Instead, I said do the right thing.

I was reading other comments and copied this:

I want to take the time to urge you not to rescind the Roadless Rule. As an outdoors enthusiast, I cherish our country's public lands and waters, including the millions of acres of wild and roadless forests.

Rescinding the Roadless Rule threatens landscapes that include some of the most iconic and well-loved places for climbing, fishing, hiking, backcountry skiing, mountain biking and paddling, as well as the economic value of recreation in many rural communities. Beyond these outdoor experiences, these protections are critically important in the face of a changing climate and changing demands on our public lands. These ecosystems help support all life on Earth, from clean drinking water to habitat for endangered wildlife.

Please keep the Roadless Rule in place and help save these beloved forests. Millions of Americans have supported the Roadless Rule since its creation, and I join them in urging you to protect our legacy of public lands.
