CALL TO ACTION: Demand a Re-Vote for the Historical Marker at Eternal Vigil!

Florence residents, we need you!

The Florence City Council had the opportunity to take a small but meaningful step toward truth and reconciliation, but instead, they voted against a historical marker that would have denounced the racist dedication speech at the Eternal Vigil Confederate monument.

This is unacceptable.

Instead of standing on the right side of history, they worked behind closed doors to create a new rule designed to block this marker forever. We cannot allow our elected officials to erase history, silence our voices, or ignore the harm this monument continues to represent.

We need YOU to take action today.

Tell the Florence City Council: Hold a Re-Vote on the Marker!
Send an email directly to your elected officials in just a few clicks. We've made it easy—all you have to do is sign and send.

Use the form below to use the message we wrote, or write something that comes directly from you.

Why this matters:

• The historical marker denounces the racist dedication speech given when the Eternal Vigil monument was erected.
• It is the bare minimum our city can do to acknowledge the truth.
• The City Council collaborated on the language—then voted against it anyway.
• A new rule was created behind the scenes to block the marker—we must hold them accountable.

Florence cannot claim to be a city of progress while refusing to confront its past. We won't let them ignore this issue.

Email the Florence City Council TODAY and demand a re-vote!

Let's make it clear: We see their inaction, and we will not be silent.
