An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Save the institute of museum and library services (IMLS)

5 so far! Let’s get to 10 signers!

I am writing to strongly oppose the executive order calling for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This agency is vital to libraries, museums, archives, and the communities that access them across (your state), which provide essential funding for literacy programs, public internet access, historical preservation, and workforce development. Without IMLS, rural and underserved libraries will loose critical resources, job training programs will disappear, and cultural institutions will struggle to preserve our history. These cuts disproportionately harm children, seniors, job seekers, and students who rely on these services daily. I urge you to publicly oppose this action and support legislation to protect IMLS funding and its existence as a fundamental service. Please stand with our libraries and museums by fighting for this indispensable institution. Thank you for your time and commitment to our communities.
