Hi all –

As you know, the Every Kid Outdoors Act was recently reported out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, after passing the House of Representatives earlier this summer with overwhelming bipartisan support. The Outdoors Alliance for Kids (OAK) is circulating the attached sign-on letter in support of getting the legislation to the Senate floor and passing the Senate before the end of this Congress.

The Every Kid Outdoors Act would codify the Every Kid in a Park program, an initiative by the Department of Interior that gives all fourth graders (and their siblings and parents/guardians) free passes to national parks and lands. Earlier this year, Secretary Zinke indicated he was going to cut the program, making the Congressional directive to keep the program imperative.

This sign on letter is for organizations only: use this link to add your organization. Deadline is COB Wednesday, October 31. Please feel free share widely with your networks as well.

Thank you,

Kristy Anderson (on behalf of the Outdoors Alliance for Kids Policy Action Team)
