No Fencing at Lafayette Square Act

Key Points

• This bill stops any money from being used to put up permanent fences around Lafayette Square. This includes money from the federal government, states, private groups, or even foreign countries.
• Lafayette Square is the famous public park located right across the street from the White House. It is a common place for people to gather and protest.
• The bill does not stop workers from fixing or replacing fences that are already there. It only targets new, permanent structures that would close off the park for good.
• The goal is to keep the park open and easy for the public to visit. Supporters want to make sure this historic space remains a place where people can express their views.
