If the IMLS is defunded for 2026 as proposed in the budget, she and every other Tribal librarian and services to Tribal communities will be axed. Again.

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️
