Thousands of protesters rallied at national parks across the US to protest federal cuts to public lands, which resulted in the termination of thousands of jobs at the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service. Concerns were raised about the impact on park maintenance and safety with fewer workers. The administration announced plans to restore some jobs and hire seasonal workers, but discontent remained. Protesters carried signs and displayed upside-down flags as a sign of distress. Demonstrations took place at parks large and small, with protesters calling for the rehiring of federal employees who were fired. The administration has implemented mass firings across government sectors, targeting employees in probationary periods. A federal judge ruled a memo directing agencies to prepare for mass layoffs was legally invalid. Protesters highlighted the importance of public lands belonging to all Americans and the role of federal agencies in working on behalf of the people. The protesters aimed to be present, vocal, and passionate in opposition to the administration’s actions.
