Change Our Name Fort Bragg

Change Our Name was formed by a group of residents in Fort Bragg, CA. who support efforts to change the name of our town as a first and important step in recognizing the injustice done to the Native peoples of our area. Further, we no longer wish to memorialize a Confederate General, an enslaver, and a traitor to our county, in this time of racial reckoning. 

Changing the name of our city, Fort Bragg, is shorthand for the even more important work of rectifying the sad history of violence inflicted on the local tribes, and includes Land Back, erecting a memorial to the victims of The Mendocino Indian Reservation, a cultural center to honor the native cultures of this area, and most importantly, including this history in the curriculum of Fort Bragg Middle and Fort Bragg High Schools.

Change Our Name is a 501(c)(3) organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 170 and qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 25
