Presidents' Day Weekend NYC Event

As part of our campaign to better fund our national parks, NPCA is holding a press event on the steps of Federal Hall National Memorial. And, we want you there!

Grab a poster or sign and celebrate our parks by expressing your support for them to your New York City elected representatives.

At Federal Hall National Memorial – the site where George Washington took the oath of office as our nation’s first president and where our first Congress wrote the Bill of Rights – we will stand together and urge Congress to call for funding to address the nearly $1 billion in deferred maintenance at National Park Service sites across the state.

The location for this event, anchored by national parks that honor three U.S. presidents, is a testament itself to the pressing repair needs of our parks. Combined, these three parks have a $11.2 million backlog of repairs.

Come celebrate President’s Day with us and raise your voice for the national park sites in NYC that memorialize America’s Founding Fathers.
