Thank you for signing the petition to save our St. Augustine history. As we learned from the meeting last week, there are many from outside St. Augustine that are trying to influence the Council to wipe out part of our history and the memorials to many of our families. In the last few weeks, several other communities have sucumbed to outside pressure that has resulted in the removal and as many saw ini Manatee County, the destruction of another historic war veterans memorial. We're going to need to unify to defend our city's history from these destructive forces, and communicate our message loudly with our elected officials - to resist those who want to wipe out the 'offensive' parts of our history. Over the coming days weeks, updates will be posted to the petition with steps we can take to protect our history and heritage. Please participate as much as you can. Please start reaching out to the City Council members. A snail mail written letter is preferable.
