Virtual: The Latest in Censorship: Erasing History from National Parks
It’s well documented that extremists want to censor classrooms and push book bans, but did you know that censorship has now spread to our national parks?Over 433 parks, sites, and monuments fall under National Park Service protection, and this Administration is working to remove or alter historical displays. These are the plaques your family reads on a road trip or the talk your kid hears on a field trip. These attacks disproportionately target Black American and Indigenous history, and even limit information on climate change and the environment.A group of current and former park rangers formed the Resistance Rangers and they are partnering with a coalition called America 433+ to stop the censorship. Join us to hear from one of the Rangers leading the battle, learn what’s happening in parks across the country, and find out how you can help fight back.
