Help staff “respite” stop for historic preservation rally.
On Monday, Nov. 9, St. Mark’s will open the Parish Hall as a rest stop for people attending the “106 Strong” rally on Capitol Hill.
Rally participants will be protesting a fast-track effort to push through 400+ page licensing/permitting legislation (S. 5753) dealing with multiple issues through Congress during the lame-duck session rather than wait until 2027 to negotiate compromise terms.
The bill’s current provisions would eliminate or reduce the ability of state, local and private historic preservationists and Native Tribes to participate in the planning process for changes to historic preservation sites.
St. Mark’s is not a sponsor of the rally but will give attendees a place to store bags, rest, recharge phones and grab a coffee between 9-5.
