Libraries and museums are integral to scientific advancement and to our core mission of #scienceforall. Stand Up for Science stands with @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social!

Please call your representatives and let them know you STRONGLY oppose this attack on access to knowledge.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.
