About

America 433+ is about preserving public memory, defending public education, protecting public lands, and ensuring that our national parks reflect the full complexity of the American experience — not a narrowed, partisan, or whitewashed version of it.

America 433+ affirms that public lands and institutions should tell the shared story of this country and that protecting our parks is essential to democracy itself.

America 433+ is a national public education campaign and civic call to action responding to the growing attack, erasure, and distortion of our shared American story. The America 433+ campaign counteracts the intentional hollowing out of our nation’s park infrastructure and censorship – including the removal, suppression, or alteration of vital public records and materials. America 433+ affirms that our national parks are public lands for all people and should reflect the fullness and complexity of the American experience — not a narrowed, partisan, or distorted version of it.

The campaign works to protect endangered science, public memory, Indigenous knowledge, and historical interpretation across all 433 National Park sites and other public lands and institutions. In coalition with our communities, America 433+ shines a spotlight of a diverse and fuller picture of our shared American story, including:

What we are witnessing is part of a broader effort to reshape public understanding by removing, censoring, or weakening access to history, science, and Indigenous knowledge.

433+ is a broad coalition and growing – and here to preserve and elevate the full American story while building public awareness, engagement, and stewardship around the importance of protecting our public lands for future generations.

Mission

The National Park Service was created to conserve our nation’s natural wonders, historic places, wildlife, and our shared stories for future generations. That mission requires more than protecting land—it requires defending our memory, science, and public access. We call on the U.S. Congress to fulfill the promise of our National Park Service to:

• Safeguard parks, places and stories for future generations.
• Protect the full story of America.
• Defend science and public knowledge.
• Preserve public memory.
• Honor Tribal sovereignty and Indigenous knowledge.
• Invest in the workers who protect them.
• Keep public lands accessible to all.
