During the government shutdown, our national park—and the people who care for it—are feeling the effects. This event is a chance to come together, reflect on what the national park means to each of us, and let decision-makers know how these places touch our lives. 

Stop by our table at REI Roseville to write a postcard about your favorite park experience or how you and your connection to this park have been impacted by the shutdown. We’ll provide everything you need—postcards, pens, and mailing addresses for your legislators. You need only bring your stories and your passion for parks. 

 
What to expect: 

• Drop in anytime between 10am and 4pm 

• Write a postcard (or a few) to your representatives sharing your thoughts or park memories. 

• Learn more about how communities are staying connected to the park during the shutdown. 

Together, we can remind leaders and neighbors alike that our national parks are an essential part of our shared wellbeing—places of inspiration, recreation, and renewal. 

Come write, share, and celebrate our national park.
