D-Day for Plan to Gut Federal Preservation Protections with Senate Vote for As Soon As Monday

Pennsylvania Station being demolished, the destruction of which helped inspire the passage of Section 106. 

Following the Trump Administration’s proposals to gut longstanding regulations that protect historic and environmentally sensitive sites as well as Tribal lands, the Senate has introduced legislation to implement these changes, and more. The Orwellian-named “Bipartisan Affordability and Jobs Act” (S.5653) would gut public participation in the process, hand more power to developers and big business, reduce accountability, and give the federal government a freer hand to give away or destroy sites with value and meaning to all Americans. We and hundreds of organizations from across the country representing millions of Americans adamantly oppose this bill.

The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill on as soon as November 9, and if it passes, a House vote will follow soon after. It’s CRITICAL that legislators hear from us NOW that this bill to gut Section 106 is unacceptable and MUST be voted down!
