URGENT ACTION NEEDED

Urge Your Senators to Support the Cassidy/Gillibrand Amendment to Increase HPF Funding by $8 Million During Consideration of the Interior Appropriations Bill

The Senate is currently debating H.R 6147, a minibus appropriations bill that includes the FY19 Senate Interior Appropriations bill. 

Urge your Senators to support an amendment being offered by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) to H.R 6147, that would increase the Historic Preservation Fund by $8 million, restoring the HPF to fiscal year 2018 enacted levels. If you live in New York or Louisiana be sure to thank Senators Cassidy and Gillibrand for their continued leadership on historic preservation issues.

URGENT: TAKE ACTION TODAY

Contact your Senators and request that they support the Cassidy/Gillibrand amendment to preserve and protect some of nation's most historic resources by restoring funding for the Historic Preservation Fund to last year's levels.

If you already have a personal contact in your Senator's office reach out to that person directly. If you don't have a personal contact, call your Senator's DC office and ask to speak with the Interior Appropriations staffer. You can also contact the capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senator's office. Explain that this amendment offered by Senators Cassidy and Gillibrand would restore funding to the Historic Preservation Fund, which is funded through oil and gas lease revenue, not tax payer dollars. The HPF funds the work of State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers and critically important programs that help support preservation projects across the country and in their state.
