Hi all, I know a lot of us are looking for ways to help and not everyone is local to the region. I compiled some resources below for those who want to get involved in whatever way they can.

1. Call your elected officials. Texas or not, this is a national park and it’s a national issue. The more noise we can make on the national level, the better! November is coming! Do not be afraid to remind them. Some good resources can be found at
   https://5calls.org/state/texas/texas-border-wall-big-bend/ 
   https://nobigbendwall.org/
   https://www.no-al-muro.com/

2. Direct donations to local organizations

3. Attend peaceful protests if you can. Those local to Austin, there is an ongoing protest every Sunday organized by @SaveBigBend on instagram and more popups happening every week. Those local to the park, every Saturday in Study Butte there are ongoing protests. I have seen some in Dallas and talks of others in Houston and other cities around Texas. If you can’t find one in your city, organize one! You are not alone, and there are others looking for ways to show up. Some good instagram pages to follow that have been posting about popups below 
   @SaveBigBend 
   @ProtectBigBend5
   @NoBigBendWall 
   @Big.Bend.Forever
   @BigBendConservationAlliance
   @ntlnwmn

4. Buy merch to support the mission and spread the word. We have a highlight on our website and instagram @Big.Bend.Forever that highlights any merch we find. Help spread the word to make sure the legitimate fundraisers are getting the support! 
   Big Bend Forever 
   Chinga Tu Muro 
   Keep Big Bend Wild 
   No Wall Yall Shirts 
   No Wall Save the Rio 
   Dont Tread on Big Bend Flag

 

If I missed anything please add to the comments!

If you can’t show up in person, you can still call your elected officials. https://www.no-al-muro.com has lots of great resources. You can also donate to Big Bend Citizens Alliance, No Big Bend Wall Coalition or Keep Big Bend Wild. And if you still want to do more to support the cause, there is merch being sold to support with proceeds being donated directly to the above organizations!

Now is the time to get loud, call your senators, make donations to the boots on the ground organizations. If you love big bend, it’s time to show up!

Hi All! Wanted to post a reminder that we are still raising money for No Big Bend Wall Coalition and Big Bend Citizens Alliance. We did a little merch refresh and now have all designs available as crops and just rolled out decorative No Wall License Plates!

Do you love Big Bend National Park? Do you believe in protecting our public lands?

❤️ We need your help now!!! ❤️

Monday, July 13 is the deadline for submitting comments to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) related to CBP’s proposed plans for border infrastructure in Big Bend National Park & Brewster County.

Yes! Planned for within the Park itself!

➡️ Email: BigBendComments@cbp.dhs.gov

➡️ Subject line: “Brewster County Vehicle Barrier System Construction”

➡️ Message: let CBP know what you think about their proposed infrastructure for Brewster County, including Big Bend National Park.

❓What is planned for Brewster County?❓

"CBP is engaged in project planning for vehicle barrier system and road construction in Brewster County. The project involves the construction of approximately 17 miles of non-adjoining sections of low-profile post on rail vehicle barrier rather than 30-foot bollard-style pedestrian barrier, approximately 205 miles of new or improved patrol roads, and the installation of detection systems along the border. The vehicle barrier will feature steel posts supported by continuous steel rails, with alternating rail heights of approximately 4 and 6 feet, and rails spaced about 4 feet apart. Attributes may include, as appropriate to U.S. Border Patrol’s operational needs, fiber optic cables, utility poles, power cables, surveillance cameras, access and patrol roads and utility shelters along the international border." (cbp.gov)

There are some good suggestions as to messages themselves at Keep Big Bend Wild.

Questions? We're checking in frequently today!

From our recent trip to Big Bend! For those who don't know the Big Bend region is currently at risk of having a border wall through the area. I encourage you to read more about it and help keep Big Bend wild! https://nobigbendwall.org/press/

For those who have not heard, the federal government is making moves to build a border wall through the big bend that would severely limit access to the Rio. Last week The Department of Homeland Security waived dozens of environmental laws to speed construction of border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. The move marks the first time in American history that the federal government has cast aside a broad slate of environmental laws, including the National Park Service Organic Act, Endangered Species Act and National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, in a national park.

I encourage you all to read more about this and to help us keep Texas Beautiful.

In awe of all the support this page showed to our post a couple of weeks ago for the No Big Bend Wall Merch! $1200 raised across 20 states was more than I could have imagined would be possible and I wanted to say THANK YOU! But there is still work to be done. Border construction teams started arriving in Big Bend last week. Call your senators, call the construction companies, donate directly to the causes. Don't let them put a wall through Big Bend.
