Tell the U.S. Congress to Fund the Harriet Tubman National Park.

ACT NOW! The Tubman bill has 101 sponsors in the House; it passed the U.S. Senate in July 2014. Tubman national park legislation has been kicking around for ages, and commentators have been wondering if politics will stall action on this bipartisan bill before the Congressional summer recess that starts in August. See article in the Auburn, NY newspaper that poses the question. Background: Article about the Tubman bill passing the U.S. Senate in July. Article about Harriet Tubman descendant.
