Park Notes

Hi, Friend of the National Parks!











All of us at NPCA stand united against police brutality and systemic
injustice against people of color. Black lives matter. Everyone
deserves to feel safe -- outdoors, indoors, in their cars, in their
homes -- wherever they are.

This special issue of Park Notes is a mix of new stories and content
from our archives in response to recent and historic race-based
violence in America. Thank you for everything you do to make the world
a better place.
