Bulldozing ‘America’s Front Yard’
The Trump administration is bypassing congressional oversight, preventing public participation and disregarding the laws that protect places that belong to all Americans.
See more ›The National Mall is known as America’s Front Yard for a reason. It belongs to the American people. And the American people should have a say in how their land is managed and cared for.
The national parks in Washington, D.C. are some of the most visited and symbolically significant public spaces anywhere in the world. The significance of the National Mall not only relates to its thoughtful, planned physical design but in its representation of our American heritage.
The scale of these proposals, across multiple national parks and landmarks, are a systematic demolishment of public lands and monuments. As the country marks its 250th anniversary, we must ensure our parks continue tell America’s full story and that they continue to be accessible for all. To do this, we need YOU!
