Cuts by Trump admin force NEH to cut appr'd CTH grants 4 their free NYC plays (up to 30,000 ppl), so NO Memnon summer play w/o OUR support. At risk,too: salaries 4 hundreds of theater staff & 1/2 M+ in lost local revenue! DONATE any amount please.https://classicaltheatreofharlem-bloom.kindful.com/

The NEH is one of the humanities few federal funding sources; it drives individual/institutional/community research/programming and provides economic stimulus to urban/rural areas in red/blue states alike. Reach out to your reps and instill in them the vitality of the NEH. p2a.co/Oi2HjiV?fbcl...

Why are the president and congressional Republicans more focused on cutting resources from kids in need than helping families afford housing or groceries? Families are struggling, and their actions so far are only making things worse. No one voted for this.

We are not “pausing” our efforts to support more inclusive educational content for classical curricula. We pledge through OUR “executive” decisions to continue our efforts and to do more! #NCLG #inclusiveclassics Sad and sorry to have to say it, but this weeks news makes it hard not to.
