When this administration threatened to take it all away, we fought at every turn. When they moved to sell off 3 million acres of our public lands to pay for tax breaks for the billionaires, we stopped them. Because Colorado's public lands are not for sale. Not now, not ever. Time and time again, we fought this administration, not over politics. We fight because Colorado's pain should never be their profit. (00:03–00:10)
