One free day won’t bankrupt the parks, but it might remind folks why we charge the other 364.

Celebrate freedom by letting people choose when to pay—government freebies aren’t real freedom.

A free day means more people can breathe fresh air without paying a toll to justice.

Opening up nature to everyone? That’s the kind of equal access even big policy can get right.

A free day is fine, just don’t make safety nets out of the parks; they thrive on proper funding, not giveaways.

A free day at the parks sounds nice, but let’s not pretend one day fixes bigger access issues.

Good PR move, but what about everyday affordability for public lands? We need more than a freebie.

Free parks for all? Finally, a celebration that doesn’t shut out the working class.
