Take Action for America’s Battlefields
These battlefields survived war, but they may not survive neglect and improper development.
America’s battlefields are more than open fields and quiet trails. They are places where ordinary people made extraordinary sacrifices.
But many of these historic landscapes are under threat. Right now, Congress has a chance to change that.
Bipartisan legislation, the American Battlefield Protection Program Amendments Act (H.R. 7618/S. 3524), would continue one of the nation’s most effective battlefield preservation programs. It has already helped protect more than 40,000 acres through public-private partnerships that stretch taxpayer dollars further.
Urge your Senator to support and help ensure passage of this vital legislation to preserve battlefield landscapes for generations to come.

Support Preservation of America’s Battlefields
Congress has an opportunity to pass bipartisan legislation this year that would reauthorize the American Battlefield Protection Program’s Battlefield Land Acquisition Grant Program and continue this critical investment for battlefield preservation through 2035. Please use this form to send a letter to your Senator asking that they support America’s battlefields by cosponsoring and supporting H.R. 7618/S. 3524.

Subject: Take Action! The Greater Chaco Cultural Landscape Needs You
The Greater Chaco Cultural Landscape, an ancestral homeland sustained by Pueblo and Hopi people for over a millennium, is a place of ongoing cultural and ceremonial importance.
Yet this incredible landscape is threatened by encroaching oil, gas, and mineral development. (The National Trust for Historic Preservation even included the site on its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in 2011 and again in 2026 due to these significant ongoing threats.)
Contact your members of Congress today to urge support for the Chaco Cultural Heritage Area Protection Act and protect these sacred lands for generations to come.
Public advocacy by supporters like you can make a difference, and public lands like the Greater Chaco Cultural Landscape need your voice now more than ever.
Send a letter to let your elected officials know that you support preserving these sacred landscapes.

Subject: Support the Tule Lake National Monument in CA
Urge Your Elected Officials to Support the Tule Lake National Monument
The Tule Lake Segregation in California Center tells a story of the resilience of thousands of Japanese Americans who exercised their rights to protest and resist discrimination, incarceration, family separation, and direct attacks on their citizenship and human rights.
During World War II, the Tule Lake Segregation Center served as a maximum-security prison for Japanese Americans who protested race-based incarceration by refusing to answer or answering “no” to a government issued “loyalty” questionnaire.
For those incarcerated at Tule Lake, their questionnaire responses served as a form of peaceful resistance against a federal government that had violated their right to due process.
Later, over 5,000 U.S. citizens incarcerated at Tule Lake renounced their citizenship under duress, and more than 1,000 people, including children, were deported to Japan.
Many deportees eventually sought restoration of their U.S. citizenship, which was only granted after a long legal battle.
Today, a 37-acre portion of the Tule Lake Segregation Center has been designated as a National Historic Landmark and subsequently a National Monument overseen by the National Park Service, but most of the original 1,100-acre site is unprotected.
For the survivors and descendants of those incarcerated at Tule Lake, the entire site is sacred ground, a site of conscience, and a place for regular pilgrimages to remember the 331 prisoners who died during incarceration.
A rural airfield now occupies 359 acres at the heart of the former incarceration camp site.
The Federal Aviation Authority and Modoc County are seeking to expand the airfield runway, including the construction of a 3-mile long, 8 to 10-foot-high security fence, which could permanently alter the setting, viewshed, and archaeological integrity of Tule Lake.
Tule Lake Segregation Center has been included on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2026 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
Survivors and descendants believe the proposed fence would desecrate this sacred site.
Congress needs to hear from you. If you live in California or Washington, please use this form to send a letter to your Members of Congress asking them to support the Tule Lake Segregation Center and National Monument.

Designating Route 66 as a National Historic Trail will have a significant economic impact in the eight states* along the iconic route and appropriately recognize the historic roadway during its centennial celebration in 2026.

The most enduring highway in our public consciousness, Route 66 represents a unique moment in history that continues to define the nation’s identity: the rise of the automobile and its implications of freedom, mobility, and a quintessential American story.
Despite Route 66’s fame, elements of the "Mother Road" are lost every year. To support what remains, and as the historic road approaches its Centennial anniversary later in 2026, urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor and support the bill (H.R. 5470 and S. 2887) designating Route 66 National Historic Trail and help ensure its passage this year.
