“Repeal the Heritage Act is a grassroots statewide initiative dedicated to raising awareness and support to repeal the South Carolina Heritage Act. The Heritage Act is a South Carolina law that prohibits local governments from removing any Confederate monuments within our communities without a two-thirds majority vote by the South Carolina General Assembly. This impacts communities throughout the state, including public schools, colleges and universities, and small towns who want to control what their community honors. Many institutions have already made statements in their disapproval of this legislation, particularly that they cannot make the changes they want due to this overarching statute. excited to announce virtual op-ed training sessions this fall! We are looking to drum up local support through op-eds and letters to the editor to shine a light on why repealing the Heritage Act matters. We believe targeting local newspapers will reach more South Carolinians as we gear up for the legislative session this January, when the General Assembly is expected to vote on repealing the Heritage Act.
Even if you have no experience with op-eds or letter writing, we encourage you to join our virtual training! We will walk through op-eds A to Z, from drafting content to submitting to your local paper. All individuals who have passion about Repealing the Heritage Act are welcome, even if you aren’t a current SC resident!
RSVP here to receive a zoom link 24 hours prior to your training session.
We are also able to provide specialized trainings if you have a community group that is interested in learning to write op-eds together! Just contact us at repealtheheritageact@gmail.com to discuss.”
