The Campaign
Public history, science, and memory are democratic infrastructure.
When history is erased, censored, or manipulated, the public loses access to the tools necessary to understand power, injustice, and shared responsibility. America 433+ defends those tools.
Mission
A values-centered counter-narrative.
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. We counteract the intentional hollowing out of our nation's park infrastructure and censorship — including the removal, suppression, or alteration of vital public records and materials.
The campaign 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 number 433+ gives scale and specificity. Every National Park site becomes a metaphor for the full American story, not a partisan version of it.
