SaveDCs

SaveDCs is a grassroots advocacy group focused on preserving and promoting the historic character of Washington, D.C. The organization was founded in response to concerns about the perceived erosion of the city's unique architectural heritage and community identity due to rapid development and changing urban planning policies.

SaveDCs aims to educate residents and stakeholders about the importance of historic preservation and advocate for policies that support it. They often highlight specific buildings or neighborhoods that are considered at risk.

SaveDCs often works to mobilize citizens to attend public hearings, write letters to elected officials, and participate in discussions about development proposals. Their advocacy centers on issues such as zoning regulations, historic district designations, and the adaptive reuse of historic structures. The organization emphasizes a balanced approach to development that respects the city's past while accommodating its future growth. Their efforts are driven by a belief that maintaining the historical fabric of Washington, D.C. is crucial for its cultural and economic vitality.
