Rename Trump State Park and welcome a fresh start, free from associations with a divisive, convicted, and disgraced former president. Add your name to urge the state legislature to change the park's name now! Dear MoveOn member, Disgraced former president Donald Trump got convicted on 34 counts, making him the first former U.S. president convicted of felony crimes.1 His conviction confirms what we already knew, that Trump is a corrupt opportunist, willing to deceive Americans in order to obtain and keep power. Trump's presidency, and the crimes he committed against the American people, are a stain on our democracy. It's shameful that a public state park in New York still bears Trump's name! Public spaces should carry names that symbolize the values we hold dear, the leaders we admire, and the principles we stand for. Trump Park being named after a man convicted of hiding information from the American people in order to steal an election is just plain embarrassing. [In the wake of Trump’s conviction, state lawmakers are reviving efforts to rename Donald J. Trump State Park in northern Westchester County.2]( The park, largely abandoned and neglected, stands as a tarnished symbol of a divisive figure whose actions have caused immense harm and division in our nation. Despite past failures to change the park's name, the momentum is building again. New Yorkers have seen Trump's name vanish from skyscrapers, golf courses, and skating rinks.3[It’s time for it to disappear from our public parks, too!]( [Will you sign the petition to ask the New York State Legislature and governor to say goodbye to Trump State Park?]( [SIGN NOW]( Donald Trump donated the land in 2006, which is why it bears his name.4 However, throughout history, governments have renamed public spaces to reflect the values of the times and withdraw recognition from those who have done damage. Changing the park's name is within the rights and power of the New York State Legislature and the governor—they just need to hear from concerned citizens, like you, who demand action. [With 34 convictions and three more criminal trials pending, it's even more clear that naming one of our state parks after Trump is not just inappropriate—it's shameful.]( In light of Trump's convictions and the renewed legislative efforts, we have a real chance to finally strip his name from this state park. This is our moment to act. By renaming Donald J. Trump State Park, we send a powerful message that we reject attacks against our democracy and stand for a future where every community member is treated with dignity and respect.
