Last year, the Trump administration launched a sweeping campaign to censor American history and science in the National Park Service. A crowdsourced project aims to document every sign in the more than 400 national parks and historic sites across the country before the government removes them 🧵
A map of the US that shows over 400 national parks in monuments where Save Our Signs volunteers have taken 17,000 photos.

The parks with the most photo submissions are:
1) Independence national historical park in Pennsylvania (887 photos)
2) Harpers Ferry national historical park in West Virginia (553 photos)
3) Valley Forge national historical park in Pennsylvania (511 photos)
