We've traveled to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon and others. Each park is unique and special and quintessentially American. But Our parks right now are at risk. There's funding cuts, staffing cuts, there's investments that allow our families to enjoy these amazing places that just aren't happening and are not proposed to happen under the current Republican budget.

This coalition is comprised of over 4,100 members, all current, former or retired employees and volunteers at the National Park Service. (01:11–01:25)
