    We’re asking you to vote NO in the upcoming Board election to hold REI accountable for all their recent behavior. Read on to learn more about all the ways REI is losing sight of itself, failing its members and workers, and jeopardizing its founding principles.

    REI endorses Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Interior

    REI’s leadership recently endorsed Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of the Interior. Since joining Trump’s cabinet, Burgum has already pushed for:

    • More oil and gas drilling on public land.

    • A reversal of “harmful” and “coercive” Biden-era climate protections.

    • Reduced accountability for mining companies that harm wildlife.

    • A revision of public land protections, which could change the boundaries of our national monuments.
