NOW!!

Over 13.4 billion resources, 640 million acres, 3.4 million sq. nautical miles, and 224,000 stewards face erasure. Defunding, revisionism, and strategic neglect now threaten African-descendant, Indigenous, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Latiné heritage.

Federal budgets are being gutted. Programs are vanishing. Grants are drying up. Personnel are being pushed out. From national parks to archives, museums to libraries, cultural institutions are being repurposed to suppress truth, marginalize resistance, and erase the presence of historically oppressed communities from the American story.

These attacks are not random. They are strategic. They seek to sever communities from the stories, artifacts, and practices that sustain their identity and enable their self-determined futures.
