📣 Georgia's Preservation Community Speaks Up for Section 106.

Now We Need YOUR Voice. Over 25 organizations across Georgia have joined The Georgia Trust in a letter urging U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to oppose the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653) unless its harmful historic preservation provisions are substantially revised or removed. From local historical societies and preservation nonprofits to archaeologists, cultural heritage organizations, and Tribal representatives, this coalition shares a common concern: Georgia communities must retain a voice in federal decisions affecting their historic places. The coalition supports efficient federal permitting, but not at the expense of meaningful consultation and consideration of the historic places that tell Georgia's stories. 🚨 Now it's your turn to speak up! Contact Senators Ossoff and Warnock before November 9 and make your views known about the proposed changes to Section 106. We also encourage you to contact your U.S. representative. Want to learn more? Watch the recording of our recent webinar for an overview of the proposed changes and what's at stake. 🔗 Find the webinar recording, language for your message to Congress, and information on contacting your legislators at the Advocacy link in our bio. #ProtectSection106 #GeorgiaPreservation #HistoricPreservation #preservationadvocacy @preserveatl @dekalbhistorycenter @dunwoodypt @easementsatlanta @ethospreservation @historicathens @myhsf @historiccolumbusga @historicaugusta @historicmacon @lordaecksargent @madisonmorganconservancy @newsouthassoc @olmstedlinearpark @ossabawisland @richmondhillhistoricalsociety @romeareaheritage @southreshpc @thomasvillelandmarks @verityworksco
