Subject: Alternatives Needed: Say NO to Physical Border Wall in Big Bend

Dear [Representative/Senator Name], 

I’m writing as a Texan who cares about protecting our public lands. I urge you to oppose any physical border wall construction in or around Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. 

This region is protected by 28 longstanding environmental laws, including the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, which safeguards the Rio Grande corridor and monitors appropriate use including recreation. Waiving these protections sets a troubling precedent for public lands across our state and country. 

The area is also part of the internationally recognized Greater Big Bend International Dark Sky Reserve, drawing Texans and visitors from around the world to experience some of the darkest night skies in North America. Industrial construction would permanently alter this landscape and the local economies that depend on it.  

Tourism to Big Bend National Park contributes $56.8 million to the local economy—construction of a physical border through some of the most beloved sections of our public land would have a direct impact on that number and harm the local economy, and potentially put local business owners out of work.

Protecting Big Bend is not a partisan issue — it’s about stewardship, conservation, and preserving Texas heritage for future generations. I respectfully ask you to oppose any efforts that would undermine these protections. 

As your constituent, I ask you that you:
+ Demand that the CBP explore alternative border security solutions
+ Say NO to a physical border wall in our public lands
+ Respond with your position on the construction of a physical border wall through our public land and what specific actions you plan to take if this continues to move forward as planned.

Thank you for your time and service. 

Signed,

GENERAL

Subject: Alternatives Needed: Say NO to Physical Border Wall in Big Bend

Dear [Representative/Senator Name]

I urge you to oppose border wall construction in and around Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park.

These lands should remain protected by laws like the National Historic Preservation Act and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The area is also part of the internationally recognized Greater Big Bend International Dark Sky Reserve. Waiving those protections would permanently alter one of the most beautiful and unique places in Texas, a place that outdoor enthusiasts from across the state and country can enjoy.

Tourism to Big Bend National Park contributes $56.8 million to the local economy—construction of a physical border through some of the most beloved sections of our public land would have a direct impact on that number and harm the local economy, and potentially put local business owners out of work.

Protecting Big Bend isn’t partisan — it’s about stewardship, conservation, and preserving Texas heritage for future generations. Please stand for our Texas public lands.

I ask you that you:
+ Demand that the CBP explore alternative border security solutions
+ Say NO to a physical border wall in our public lands
+ Respond with your position on the construction of a physical border wall through our public land and what specific actions you plan to take if this continues to move forward as planned.

Signed,
