The National Trust frequently turns to grassroots supporters to help effect change at the local, state, and federal level. This includes advocating for preservation funding, saving historic places, and influencing key legislation that protects our country’s heritage. From speaking up for Historic Tax Credits to advocating locally for places in your community, join us in protecting places that tell the story of America!

If enacted, the Great American Outdoors Act would be the single largest federal investment in preservation of historic and cultural resources for public lands in our generation, and it would provide the support necessary to ensure America’s historic places are saved for generations to come. Contact your senators today and ask them to cosponsor and vote YES to pass this important legislation.

The historic tax credit (HTC) has a proven track record of kickstarting job creation and attracting private investment, while preserving tangible links to our past. But with some strategic improvements, this vital program can do even more—specifically for smaller projects typically located in Main Streets and more rural areas. The Historic Tax Credit Growth & Opportunity Act would do just that. Join the National Trust for Historic Preservation in urging your lawmakers to support this important legislation!

The Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act (H.R. 2181 / S. 1079) would prevent new oil and gas development on federal public lands within a roughly 10-mile radius of Chaco Culture National Historical Park, codify a longstanding practice of avoiding new leasing on federal lands in these sensitive areas.
