During a recent protest at Joshua Tree against the Trump administration's budget cuts to public-land management, attendees expressed their passionate support for national parks. Many displayed American flags as symbols of love for the environment, alongside signs referencing indigenous rights and historical injustice regarding land management. While some attendees celebrated the parks as an American innovation, they also acknowledged the complexities of their history, emphasizing the importance of defending and preserving these lands for future generations.
"Defending what we love is another form of love."
"The flag is a symbol of our love for the land. After all, national parks are an American invention. But, like our country, a flawed one."
