Send your members of Congress a letter asking them to cosponsor the Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act (H.R. 9269/S. 4767).

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.

This bipartisan and bicameral legislation would reauthorize AACRN for an additional ten years. Its authorization lapsed in January 2025. Without Congressional action, no new sites will be able to join this vital network.
