Dear National Park Advocate,

Parks are where we go to understand our world. Ideally, they are
where we can heal, celebrate, and gain strength.

Very soon, the Senate will have a chance to vote on establishing a
new park site in Colorado -- Amache.

During World War II innocent Japanese-Americans were forced to
relocate to 10 remote, military-style prisons. The Granada Relocation
Center in southeast Colorado, known as Amache, was one of them.

Take action now! Urge your senator to vote to make Amache a new
national park site. It would be the most powerful way to preserve and
protect the stories of Amache for future generations.

We stand with our partners in advocating for the former incarceration
site to become a future park. The longstanding and heroic efforts of
Amache survivors, descendants, and other community leaders to share
this story are the reason why it remains alive today.

Survivors of Amache have been waiting for most of their lives for
their stories to be told and acknowledged.

While the story of Amache is first and foremost a story for its
survivors and descendants to tell, many other incredible partners are
advocating for this bill to pass. They are also part of this Amache
Movement: including civil rights organizations, regional partners,
veterans groups, county commissioners, organizations invested in
community economic development, and beyond.

The creation of a national park is an expression of faith in the
future. It is a pact between generations, a promise from the past to
the future.

We must honor the heroic survivors and descendants of Amache, the
legacy of those who are no longer with us, and future generations.
Join the Amache Movement and urge your senators to vote to pass the
Amache National Historic Site Act today.
