Help get SJ reinstated at Yosemite
We’re asking members of the public to amplify by emailing Acting Director Jessica Bowron at nps_director@nps.gov and Yosemite Superintendent at raymond_mcpadden@nps.gov to reinstate Dr. SJ Joslin. They may also fill out the “contact us” form at Yosemite’s page at NPS.gov/yose.
Here’s a script people can send:
"Hello Acting NPS Director Jessica Bowron,
I saw that several NPS unions have signed and released an open letter directed to you in support of Dr. SJ Joslin and their reinstatement to Yosemite National Park. I strongly agree with the 4,200 NPS employees, or an estimated 33% of the total NPS workforce, that these signatures represent. Please review their letter and reinstate SJ to their rightful place in the National Park Service.
Sincerely, Your Name”
