Watch “Before It’s Gone” –  Save Section 106 !

Today the National Historic Preservation Act turns 60. It has saved countless important places and deserves to serve for another 60 years, but that future is under dire threat from the federal government.

Please watch and share this short film just released by Section 106 Strong and join the fight for the future of our past. Contact your Senators this week to oppose S. 5653 as written and demand meaningful changes to its historic preservation provisions.

Section 106 works because it asks federal agencies to do something simple: stop, look, and listen before harming places Americans value. It gives states, local governments, Tribal Nations, property owners, and communities a voice to preserve historic downtowns, battlefields, burial grounds, and sacred sites and prevent them from being damaged or lost.

Among San Antonio’s historic treasures saved by Section 106 is the St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church Foundations and 1875 Cornerstone.
