About CHAACo

Our Mission

The Cultural Heritage Advocacy and Action Coalition is a grassroots organization of cultural heritage professionals, allies, and enthusiasts working together to address urgent problems, caused by US federal policies, that are facing the individuals, institutions, and cultural groups who are the stewards of our collective heritage and history. We strive for the rapid, agile development of critical resources to share freely in solidarity with our communities.

Our Vision

We believe appreciation for cultural heritage, respect for cultural diversity, and unflinching engagement with factual history are essential to a thriving democratic society. We aim to help build a world where the intrinsic value of cultural heritage is understood and celebrated, and where sovereign governments actively support and invest in its preservation and accessibility.
