Learn what The Department of the Interior does.

What do you know about this incredibly influential department that controls public lands throughout the United States? Other than the Teapot Dome Scandal from U.S. History class, have you put much thought into the Department of the Interior?

The Department of the Interior is sometimes jokingly called the “Department of Everything Else” because of its wide scope of duties. From oil and gas leases to mining and endangered species, the department makes critical decisions about our lands, people, and climate, but many Americans do not know what it does.

Join us as we dive into the Department of the Interior and look at how President Trump’s dangerous anti-public lands agenda has stacked the deck by putting people in charge who do not believe in the mission of public lands.

President Trump is nominating William Perry Pendley, a man who has spent his legal career fighting public lands and environmental protections and has compared climate change to unicorns, to be the next head of the Bureau of Land Management, the agency responsible for administering public lands and grazing, mining, energy development, and logging leases on public lands.

This Lunch and Learn will be conducted over Zoom on Tuesday, July 28th at 12:30 pm EST. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions as well. A invitation link will be sent to your email prior to the town hall. Please RSVP here – we look forward to seeing you there!
