DHS is hell-bent on getting something Donald Trump can call a wall built before congressional Democrats or judges can shut them down, and they don’t care what needs to be destroyed along the way. Right now, they’re trying to smash through Big Bend National Park, with bulldozers clearing lands that have been untouched for millennia.

Local officials, business owners, and conservationists warn the regime is going to kill tourism along threatening ecosystems, wildlife, and a national treasure. And organizers are hard at work trying to put sand in the gears. 🗣️ The No Big Bend Wall coalition is asking us to reach out to our members of Congress asking them to object to the project and defund it, with call scripts here, along with signing this petition. 🗣️

DEFUND THE WALL

CBP is also accepting public comments on how this project could affect the environment, cultural resources, and the local economy and community through August 31st. ✍🏽 We can register our opposition by emailing BigBendComments@cbp.dhs.gov with "Big Bend Vehicle Border Barrier System Construction" in the subject line. ✍🏻

TELL CBP NO

Finally, K at We (the People) Dissent (who we can thank for this entire action) has identified multiple contractors working on the project: Barnard Construction, Southwest Valley Contractors, and Fisher Sand & Gravel. 📢 Let’s write, call and email them to voice our disapproval, along with commenting on their social media and review pages. 📢
