This 4th of July, protect the places that made history.
As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we also honor the places where history lives—like Independence Hall, Yosemite National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park.
But many iconic sites in the National Park System are in urgent need of repair. The bipartisan America the Beautiful Act (S.1547) would invest $2 billion annually for eight years to preserve our national parks, public lands, and many of their historic landmarks for future generations.
This Independence Day, we hope you’ll take a moment to advocate for our nation’s most iconic places.
