PETITION: Tell Trump, Hands Off the National Archives!

The National Archives safeguards our collective history, protects the public's right to know, and ensures transparency and accountability in government.

18,239 signatures
Goal: 17,500 signatures

Trump has replaced the Archivist of the United States in retaliation for the agency’s role in the case of the stolen document against him.

There's just one problem with that.

She wasn't even in office at the time!

By replacing independent, nonpartisan leadership with a politically aligned appointee, this administration is attempting to undermine the integrity of our nation’s historical record and the mechanisms that ensure government accountability. This is not merely a bureaucratic shift—it is a direct threat to the preservation of truth, transparency, and democratic norms.

But we also know that Trump won't stop there. His DOGE advisory body will go after any of his perceived enemies, including the National Archives itself. We need people like you to take a stand today.

We, the undersigned, call on Congress to fully support and protect the integrity of the National Archives of the United States, ensuring that it continues to fulfill its critical role in preserving and providing access to our nation's history.

The National Archives and Records Administration safeguards our collective history, protects the public's right to know, and ensures transparency and accountability in government. It is a critical institution for researchers, educators, students, journalists, and all citizens who value the preservation of historical records and the principles of democracy.
