From the American Library Association: “Last night (3/14/25) the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call your members of Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries. It's time to Show Up #ForOurLibraries
