On Saturday, protests erupted at national parks nationwide, with hundreds gathering to oppose the recent dismissal of over 1,000 National Park Service employees by the Trump administration. Organizers from Resistance Rangers, including many off-duty and fired rangers, targeted 433 national parks, resulting in demonstrations at at least 145 sites. Notable protests occurred in iconic locations like Yosemite and Yellowstone, highlighting concerns not only about job losses but also about potential threats to public land management and resource extraction efforts. The National Park Service supported the protests while ensuring the protection of park resources.
The protests aimed to stand up against what many see as threats to public lands and National Park Service employment, following the administration's significant job cuts.
Protests were organized by a group called Resistance Rangers, consisting of about 700 off-duty rangers, to voice their concerns about firings and potential resource extraction.
