Declare Appalachian Culture Month to be in October each year.

The Issue

Appalachia is rich with culture, history and biodiversity. Declaring October “Appalachian Culture Month” will help to preserve these legacies, increase pride and connectivity, and create new opportunities for people to share their unique stories and knowledge. Though somewhat regionally specific, this celebration is fully inclusive, and only requires local recognition for engagement to foster positive change.
