Nationwide Protests Erupt Against Job Cuts in U.S. National Parks

Thousands of protesters gathered across various national parks in the United States to voice their opposition against job cuts initiated by the Trump administration. Demonstrations at iconic locations, including Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, and Joshua Tree national parks, saw attendees express their anger and anxiety over the impact of federal budget reductions on park services. Notably, demonstrators displayed upside-down American flags as a distress signal to highlight the urgency of their cause. Various events took place on a National Day of Action, with hundreds rallying in cities like Boston, South Minneapolis, and South Lake Tahoe, calling for the protection of public lands and the reinstatement of laid-off workers. The protests underscored a growing sentiment among park supporters and employees, emphasizing the need to preserve both the natural beauty of the parks and the livelihoods of those who maintain them.
