Tell Congress to Support the African American Civil Rights Network

The African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN), a National Park Service (NPS) program, connects more than 130 historic sites, NPS units, and research programs dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. Its authorization lapsed in January 2025. Without Congressional action, no sites have an opportunity to join this vital network..

The bipartisan Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act (H.R. 9269/S. 4767) would reauthorize the program and ensure these irreplaceable sites continue to educate, inspire, and honor telling the full story of America’s civil rights journey.

Congress needs to hear from you. Please use this form to send a letter to your Members of Congress asking that they cosponsor and support the Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act (H.R. 9269/S. 4767).
