Attacking universities and now libraries and museums. This says a whole lot and the message is so scarily familiar.

Call your representatives. Attend meetings to support your local libraries.
🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Cuts to NIH disrupt life-saving research across the nation. The Trump administration's actions threaten progress in treatments for cancer, heart disease, and more. We must push back and continue making these critical investments.
