Stand With Preservationists Defending the Kennedy Center

America’s cultural heritage belongs to all of us — and right now, it’s being put at risk.

A coalition of leading architecture and cultural organizations has filed a lawsuit to stop a rushed and opaque plan to overhaul the Kennedy Center without following the law. These groups — representing more than a million architects, preservationists, and advocates — are standing up to ensure that any changes to this historic landmark respect federal preservation rules and receive proper congressional approval.

The Kennedy Center isn’t just a building. It’s a living memorial, a national gathering place for the arts, and a symbol of our shared history and identity. Major decisions about its future should be transparent, lawful, and guided by public interest — not pushed forward behind closed doors without accountability.

This lawsuit is about more than one renovation. It’s about protecting our cultural institutions, preserving history for future generations, and ensuring that no administration can sidestep the laws meant to safeguard them.

Add your name to stand with these organizations fighting to protect the Kennedy Center, defend the rule of law, and preserve the cultural legacy that belongs to all of us.
