"What I’ve been hearing is that, regardless of the intention, to make government smaller or to streamline positions — whatever the intention is, the impact does not match," -NPCA's Crystal Davis to @adrianamperezr https://t.co/6yE6MwYobL

Today @NatlParkService removed references to trans contributions at @StonewallNPS. Erasing letters or webpages does not change the history or the contributions of our transgender community members at Stonewall or anywhere else. https://t.co/5X8arvnGJA

Great to join Juniors taking part in Model Congress at Anthony Wayne High School in Whitehouse, Ohio. Glad to discuss our work in Congress, career paths to public service, and the hundreds of millions in federal investments we have brought back to NW Ohio this year alone.

On what would have been his 82nd birthday, the White House honors Emmett Till and his mother with a national monument.

"We can't forget," said Alan Spears of @NPCA who worked on the designation. Here's how the three sites tell his story and role in the civil rights movement.

TODAY: After years of tireless advocacy, a #ParkForTill is finally a reality. A national park site will forever protect Emmett Till’s story and Mamie Till-Mobley’s legacy, ensuring the world has another opportunity to see how Emmett’s violent murder in 1955 changed America.

Today's SCOTUS decision around #CleanWaterAct is a terrible move for national parks, where 2/3 of park waters are already impaired. NPCA joined an amicus brief in the case arguing for stronger water protections for people, our national parks & wildlife. https://t.co/EpnUIowRkq

Emmett Till's murder was one of the most shocking hate crimes in American history. It's time for a national park to tell his story. Support a #ParkForTill: https://t.co/tcdwunNjwg
