Senate Advances America the Beautiful Act, Aiming to Renew Critical Funding for Public Lands
Reauthorization of the Legacy Restoration Fund would mean better access and infrastructure for America's hunters and anglers
-
Yesterday, hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts joined the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership in commending the Senate Environment & Natural Resources Committee for unanimously re-authorizing the National Parks and Public Land LegacyRestoration Fund (LRF) through the America the Beautiful Act (S.1547).
The bipartisan legislation was introduced in the Senate by Senator Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Senator Angus King (I-ME), and 63 Senate co-sponsors and is aimed at addressing the $43 billion maintenance backlog on America's public lands across several federal agencies.
"The America the Beautiful Act wouldn't just fund maintenance on our national parks, forests, and refuges - it would require federal agencies to prioritize public access. That means better water infrastructure on refuges for waterfowl hunters, passable trails for turkey and big game hunters, and improved access points for anglers," said Joel Webster, chief conservation officer at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "TRCP joins sportsmen and women in thanking Senators Daines and King for their leadership in introducing this bipartisan legislation and the efforts of Senators Lee and Heinrich in moving it through the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee."
The Legacy Restoration Fund was originally established in 2020 through the Great American Outdoors Act, a landmark bipartisan conservation bill. The fund expired in 2025, leaving a critical gap in addressing the $43 billion maintenance backlog on America's public lands. With the reauthorization provided by the America the Beautiful Act, the Legacy Restoration Fund would deliver $1.9 billion annually over the next five years to rebuild the roads, trails, campgrounds, staff housing, and ADA-accessible infrastructure that hunters, anglers, and all public lands users depend on.
The America the Beautiful Act now heads to the Senate floor for a full vote before moving to the House and ultimately to the President's desk.

New Jersey LCV blasts Trump sabotage of offshore wind
New Jersey League of Conservation Voters Interim Executive Director, Allison McLeod, has released the following statement in response to news that the Trump administration is paying $765M to Invenergy in exchange for walking away from offshore wind leases in New Jersey and across the country:
"With blatantdisregard for what's legal, Donald Trump's latest move to enrich his billionaire oil and gas friends comes once again at the expense of working New Jerseyans.
With families facing skyrocketing electricity costs heading into summer, it is shocking that we are literally paying to prevent new, clean energy from coming online. This illegal buyout not only represents a cash grab that will lock our working families and local businesses into expensive and dirty energy for decades, but it prevents the creation of good-paying jobs here in New Jersey.
It has never been more important that Governor Sherrill and our elected leaders in the Legislature pursue all clean energy solutions to lower costs, protect our air and water and generate economic prosperity for the Garden State."

Uzbekistan: Activist Held in Trumped-Up Case
*
(Berlin) - Uzbek authorities should release a local human rights activist accused of extortion and investigate his allegations of abuse in police custody, Human Rights Watch said today. Javokhir Muminov, the activist, told his lawyer on June 10, 2026, that following his arrest, police officers had beaten and suffocated him.
"This criminal investigation into Javokhir Muminov, coupled with his allegations of abuse, is reminiscent of a much darkertime in Uzbekistan's history," said Mihra Rittmann, senior Central Asia adviser at Human Rights Watch. "The authorities should immediately release Muminov, investigate his allegations of ill-treatment, and ensure that he is provided urgent and adequate medical care."
The case against Muminov is tainted by allegations of ill-treatment or abuse made by both Muminov and his lawyer. The allegations require immediate attention by law enforcement bodies in Uzbekistan, consistent with the country's international human rights obligations, Human Rights Watch said.
Muminov, 34, is a member of the Ezgulik Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan, one of the oldest registered human rights groups in the country. He has published information about rights violations and other developments in Uzbekistan on his Telegram channel, including about alleged corruption and police abuse in his home region of Kashkadarya in southwestern Uzbekistan. He has also been involved in protecting the rights of Kashkadarya region farmers.
The criminal investigation and activist's arrest follow Muminov's efforts over the last year and a half to help Diura Akbarov, a local resident, defend his rights against two bailiffs, the chairperson of the Ezgulik human rights organization, Abdurakhman Tashanov, reported. In January 2025, the bailiffs apparently broke Akbarov's arm and caused him other injuries while confronting him about outstanding alimony payments.
On June 5, police in the southwestern city of Karshi arrested Muminov, Akbarov, and his wife, Sanobar Borotova, on suspicion of committing "extortion on an especially large scale", an offence that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years. The arrests followed a complaint, dated the same day, by two bailiffs from the Bureau of Compulsory Enforcement, who accused the three of trying to extort 220 million Uzbek soum (approximately US$18,000) from them. One of the bailiffs had transferred 50 million Uzbek soum (approximately US$4,100) to Akbarov's wife that day, which the bailiff paid to cover medical expenses associated with injuries Akbarov sustained in 2025, his lawyer told Human Rights Watch.
In January 2025, after the bailiffs apparently broke Akbarov's arm and caused him other injuries, Akbarov filed a complaint against them. The Prosecutor's Office brought criminal charges of "intentional infliction of moderate bodily injury", but against only the more junior official. Then in a January 15, 2026, Telegram video addressed to Uzbekistan's president, Akbarov said that the police were shielding the more senior bailiff from accountability.
On May 8, a Koson district court convicted the junior bailiff of intentionally causing bodily harm and sentenced him to two years of restricted freedom.
Any effective investigation into the case against Muminov, Akbarov, and Borotova should give serious consideration about whether the convicted bailiff falsely accused the three of extortion to get revenge, Human Rights Watch said.
The organization also said that to deprive all three of their liberty during the course of an investigation into such dubious allegations, for up to two months and possibly longer, is unjustified under human rights norms. Uzbekistan is a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights must ensure that no one, as a general rule, is detained in custody awaiting trial, and in a case such as this one, including an absence of charges, questionable allegations, and a non-violent offence, pretrial detention constitutes arbitrary detention.
On June 10, Muminov's lawyers tried to meet with him at the pretrial detention center in Karshi. When officers demanded that the two lawyers leave their mobile phones in their office, one of Muminov's lawyers, Lazizjon Sharipov, declined, saying that their demand was illegal.
At that point, he said, an officer began insulting him and another then forcefully grabbed his left arm, twisting it behind his back as he pushed him down the corridor, bruising him. Sharipov told Human Rights Watch that he left the facility before he could meet with his client to file a complaint at the Karshi city Prosecutor's Office.
Sharipov's colleague met with Muminov, who told the lawyer that police officers had suffocated him with a plastic bag and beaten him to try to coerce a confession. After the meeting, Muminov's lawyer filed a second complaint at the Karshi city Prosecutor's Office about Muminov's allegations of ill-treatment and injuries, Sharipov confirmed.
Although Sharipov asked officials to provide Muminov with a forensic medical examination, he is not aware of any steps taken by the Prosecutor's Office to investigate Muminov's complaint or ensure his security in detention, Sharipov told Human Rights Wach.
Uzbekistan's international partners, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, should call on Uzbekistan officials to release Muminov and any other activists whose detention is unlawful and arbitrary under international standards.
"The accused should be released and Muminov free to continue his human rights work without fear of retaliatory arrest or ill-treatment," Rittmann said. "Uzbek authorities should also promptly investigate Muminov's allegations of ill-treatment with a view to holding the perpetrators responsible, and guarantee his safety should he remain in detention for any period."

On Friday, a critical Direct Relief shipment of personal protective equipment, including 75,000 N95 respirators, arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo to help protect health workers on the frontlines of the current Ebola outbreak.
The shipment was delivered to Bunia, Ituri province, where the majority of cases have been recorded. The distribution to frontline workers is being coordinated by globalhealth non-profit VillageReach and the National Public Health Institute of DRC's Ministry of Public Health.
VillageReach will train and mobilize 600 community health workers to support contact tracing, diagnostics, and other critical public health efforts needed to contain the spread of the virus.
Another shipment containing 188,000 N95s, part of a major infusion of 3M-donated PPE, is en route to the country. In addition to the PPE that arrived Friday in Bunia, the shipment also contained essential medicines, including antibiotics, deworming treatments, medications for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, gastrointestinal drugs, oral rehydration salts, and water purification supplies.
The shipment arrived the same week as leaders from Africa's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave a sobering presentation about the toll of the current outbreak.
The number of those who have come in contact with the virus is likely exponentially higher than the 894 cases currently reported. Experts said that the number of people who have died, more than 200, is a higher number than at the same point during previous outbreaks.
"If we don't stop the outbreak very soon, it will be worse than what we had in West Africa and eastern D.R.C.," said Jean Kaseya, Africa CDC Director General.
Officials have warned that containment of the virus could take as long as a year if infection rates continue to rise.
In addition to today's medical aid to Village Reach, Direct Relief has supported the response with a series of medical shipments to support the local and regional health system, including:
* $2.5 million in medicine and medical supplies to treat patients, help protect health workers, and limit the spread of the disease. The shipment to Jericho Road's Wellness Clinic in Goma included PPE, antibiotics, diagnostics, supportive care medications, chronic disease medications, and field infrastructure and safety equipment.
* An additional large shipment of diabetes medicine, delivered June 12, to Jericho Road's Wellness Clinic in Goma. The shipment, valued at more than $4 million, contained oral medications for managing Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar.
* Shipments for the Association des Diabetiques du Congo, or ADIC, to protect health staff at their Goma diabetes clinic and their network of healthcare providers in North Kivu and South Kivu, as well as a shipment to Kivu Diabetes Center to support healthcare staff at their clinic in Bukavu, capital of South Kivu province.
* Two shipments of PPE and essential medicine are being arranged for shipment to the International Organization for Migration in South Sudan, which shares a border with DRC and has cross-population movement between the two countries.

CAIR: Maryland Break the Bonds Coalition Holds Victory Rally Marking Historic 85 Percent Divestment Win, Calls on State Comptroller to Secure Full Divestment from Israeli Bonds
On Wednesday, June 17, the Maryland Break the Bonds coalition marked a historic victory for human rights, accountability, and grassroots organizing as more than one hundred Marylanders gathered in Baltimore to celebrate the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System's (MSRPS) major reduction ofIsraeli bond holdings, and to call on state leaders to finish the job by moving from 85 percent divestment to 100 percent.

Maryland Break the Bonds Campaign Claims Historic Victory as State Pension System Divests 85% of Israeli Bonds (https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-maryland-break-the-bonds-campaign-claims-historic-victory-as-state-pension-system-divests-85-of-israeli-bonds/)
In a statement, CAIR's Maryland Director Zainab Chaudry said:
"The Maryland Break the Bonds coalition has shown that sustained grassroots organizing can move powerful institutions. We urge Comptroller Brooke Lierman, Chief Investment Officer Dianne Sandoval and the MSRPS Board to finish the job and fully divest Maryland pension funds from Israeli bonds."
About the Campaign: MDBTB.com
The Maryland Break the Bonds campaign, led by Jewish Voice for Peace and supported by more than 40 organizations across the state including CAIR, has mobilized Maryland advocates, retirees, state employees, faith leaders, labor partners and students to demand that public pension dollars not be invested in Israeli bonds.
The victory rally was organized to celebrate the pension system's significant reduction in Israeli bond holdings, which have dropped by more than $60 million. The milestone, which represents the largest known state-level divestment in the United States and is one of the most significant divestment victories in Maryland's history, is a powerful testament to sustained people-powered advocacy.
Following Wednesday's rally, organizers led a march to the MSRPS Board offices, where state employees delivered hundreds of postcards from Maryland residents urging the Board to fully divest the remaining Israeli bond holdings.
The coalition then gathered outside the Office of Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman, the only elected official serving on the pension board, to call on her to use her authority and leadership to help move Maryland from 85 percent divestment to 100 percent divestment.
The victory rally closed with music, community fellowship, and food from a local Palestinian chef, underscoring the broad and growing movement across Maryland for ethical investment, Palestinian human rights, and public accountability.

Commenting on Andy Burnham's victory in the Makerfield by-election, Friends of the Earth's head of campaigns, Rosie Downes, said:
"Local people clearly want hope and justice. They want a fairer, greener community that rejects division and climate denial.
"The people of Makerfield have chosen a candidate with a proven commitment to climate action.
"As Mayor, Andy Burnham has helped put Greater Manchester at the forefront of the greentransition, with an ambitious target to become carbon neutral by 2038.
"He has made the region a magnet for green investment - helping to create thousands of new jobs - expanded active travel networks and transformed public transport. By bringing buses back under public control, he has improved services, kept fares affordable and accelerated the rollout of zero-emission vehicles.
"As the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Prime Minister, he now has the chance to show national leadership and ensure people across the UK share in the benefits of a cleaner, fairer future.
"Last year, Andy Burnham said there must be 'no turning away from net zero'. If he becomes Prime Minister he must turn those words into action: ditching costly, polluting fossil fuels and accelerating a just transition powered by cheap British renewables, warmer homes and good green jobs."
Raquel Castro Rodriguez, Manchester Friends of the Earth coordinator, said:
"We're calling on Andy Burnham, the new MP for Makerfield to make all our lives better by backing positive action for warmer homes, improved green spaces and reducing flood risk, more green skills and training, better public transport and stronger communities.
"These are real solutions that will help cut our energy bills, reduce pollution, strengthen our communities and protect our green spaces and nature.
"We look forward to working with the new Member of Parliament to help deliver these actions to improve people's lives in Makerfield and beyond."
Andy Burnham has said that he will seek to challenge to replace Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Friends of the Earth's wants the next Prime Minister to:
* Be honest about the scale and urgency of the climate, nature and inequality crises, and take the bold action needed to address them collectively. This includes honouring Labour's manifesto commitment not to issue any new oil and gas licences. The UK should speed up efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels by investing in publicly-owned renewable energy, home insulation, public transport and energy storage. This will help address the cost of living crisis by cutting energy bills, strengthening energy security and creating thousands of good green jobs.
* Accelerate action to ensure everyone can enjoy clean air, safe and affordable housing, access to nature, and protection from climate-related risks such as flooding and extreme heat. This must also include ending the dumping of sewage into rivers and seas.
* Hold businesses accountable for environmental damage and human rights abuses. This should include introducing a UK Business, Human Rights and Environment Act requiring companies to identify, prevent and address harm throughout their supply chains.
* Commit to an ethical foreign policy that upholds human rights and international law. The next Prime Minister should make clear that the UK will not support, enable or be complicit in human rights abuses or violations of international law.
* Strengthen and modernise democracy, including by introducing proportional representation so that Parliament better reflects how people vote.

ADL and LULAC Announce Groundbreaking Partnership to Track and Disrupt Anti-Latino Hate
New collaboration will embed LULAC researcher within ADL Center on Extremism and produce the first-ever State of Anti-Latino Hate report
-
ADL, (the Anti-Defamation League) the world's leading anti-hate organization, and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC),the nation's oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization, today announce a groundbreaking new partnership to systematically track, report on and disrupt hate targeting the Latino community in the United States.
This collaboration is anchored by a dedicated LULAC researcher embedded within the ADL Center on Extremism (COE). This researcher will leverage LULAC's unparalleled reach and deep community trust alongside COE's best-in-class team of researchers and analysts to conduct hate incident tracking, data collection and threat analysis for the Latino community. Together, they will build a first-of-its-kind infrastructure for documenting anti-Latino hate, culminating in the first-ever State of Anti-Latino Hate report: a comprehensive look at hate-related trends targeting the Latino community nationally.
This announcement was made at the 2026 LULAC National Convention in Dallas Ft. Worth, where ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt joined LULAC CEO Juan Proano for a conversation on the importance of addressing antisemitism and anti-Latino hate together and the power of cross-community solidarity in the fight against hate.
"Hate against any community is a threat to every community," said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and National Director, ADL. "For more than a century, ADL has built the expertise, tools and infrastructure to track antisemitism and other forms of hate. By bringing that knowledge directly into LULAC's work, we can help ensure that anti-Latino hate is documented with the same rigor and met with the same urgency. This is what it looks like to fight hate for good, together."
"For too long, anti-Latino hate has been experienced by our communities but overlooked in the national conversation. This partnership is about changing that," said Juan Proano, CEO, LULAC. "It sends a clear message that our experiences deserve to be documented, our voices deserve to be heard, and the facts deserve to be known. By working with ADL, LULAC is helping build the first national record of anti-Latino hate so that what has too often been overlooked can no longer be ignored."
Through this partnership, the two organizations will:
* Embed a LULAC researcher within the ADL Center on Extremism to build capacity for hate incident tracking and data collection, modeled on ADL's established methodology for documenting antisemitism and other forms of bias;
* Produce the first-ever State of Anti-Latino Hate report, offering a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of hate-related trends targeting the Latino community in the United States;
* Share intelligence and analysis between ADL Center on Extremism experts and LULAC's research and policy team to strengthen both organizations' understanding of the hate landscape affecting Latino communities; and
* Develop joint strategies to disrupt anti-Latino hate and advance community safety.
The collaboration builds on a growing relationship between ADL and LULAC, including LULAC's participation in ADL's Never Is Now, the world's largest summit on antisemitism and hate, where leaders from both organizations have spoken together about the importance of cross-community allyship and coalition-building.
