There’s plenty you can do with #SaveOurSigns
Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social for highlighting the work of #SaveOurSigns and other efforts to resist this administration's attempts to rewrite history. Wonderful overview of the many ways people are standing up for our right to learn about our nation's past: open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Thread! ⬇️ Help combat censorship at National Parks sites. #SaveOurSigns
Same layout as first slide, with cutout image of ranger pointing and young visitor. Text: “You’re a hero! You did it!” Bottom right: Resistance Rangers logo.
Black park ranger badge with “Resistance Ranger” across the top and the Resistance Rangers skull and crossbones logo with “ADOPT-A-SIGN / SAVE-A-STORY” text encircling. Text above and below badge reads, “Here’s Your Badge, You’ve earned it!”
Text: “If you know of any censorship at an NPS site, submit it to us anonymously: Link in Bio.” Image below of park rangers putting hands in a circle for a cheer
🙌Joy is resistance.
🤗Building community is resistance!
✊And most importantly- telling the truth is resistance.
🚨Remember- You can report any censorship at NPS sites through our anonymous encrypted form, link in bio!

In March, an internal NPS dataset of materials flagged for review and potential removal or alteration was leaked to the public. It can be access on @archive.org and Sciop. We at #SaveOurSigns created a StoryMap visualization of what is at risk and what the data reveals:

Stories of removal from all over the U.S. on @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy #SaveOurSigns continues to accept pictures of interpretive panels. Submit them at saveoursigns.org

Powerful piece by @ericthomasphoto.bsky.social: "Citizens have rhetorical and political power too: power to tell our true histories. We can each counter the whitewashed history of national parks as we tell more complete accounts in our homes, our classrooms or our faith communities." #SaveOurSigns
New DRP post: #Philly interpretive panels returned to the President's House. We congratulate the local community that fought HARD for their return. We hope this inspires other communities to #SaveOurSigns

New podcast with #SaveOurSigns
Text on gray background reads,”BREAKING UPDATE After this podcast was recorded, U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordered that the 34 educational panels and videos be replaced while the trial is in progress. The ultimate fate of the exhibit is still undecided-but its reinstatement is a victory for all Americans! YOU made this happen, by showing up, calling your reps, & raising your voices!”
Image of jolly ranger, text reads, “one site saved, 432 to go. Join the resistance.”
🔥This is about truth-telling. This is about accountability. This is about our history. #tellthetruth #restoreourhistory #atac #saveoursigns
We are so excited to see the interpretive panels in #Philly restored! We CAN take action to protect our history. Congratulations to the community that fought so hard to bring them back.
Hope is resistance.

We spotlight the #SaveOurSigns project in the #JERPano's latest Early Republic Tracker entry.
The initiative is a crowdsourced effort to document thousands of NPS signs for digital preservation and to record those affected by federal mandate. thepanorama.shear.org/2026/02/10/s...
I used the images from #SaveOurSigns to make a zine of the removed panels. Not totally related but sort of library related because of censorship I guess?
Good news for #philly

I don't live near a national park -- how can I help the #SaveOurSigns initiative?
Exciting to see the ways that people are remembering and advocating for the President's House! Thanks @literaturegeek.bsky.social

The #SaveOurSigns effort is led by our colleagues at the University of Minnesota. One of the many ways you can show your solidarity is through continued archiving of National Parks signs.
Visit saveoursigns.org to see sites which sites need additional photos, and be sure to record removed signs!
