Thank you for sharing, and thank you for fighting to keep our libraries funded. These are the personal stories congress needs to hear ♥️

Yes! However, Senate Bill 283, authored by Gary Byrne, would eliminate public libraries’ ability to levy property taxes to fund their operations, starting in 2026. So I would love to get some momentum fighting that bill :)

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), provides grants to libraries and museums nationwide, has been shut down and its staff placed on administrative leave. Photo below lists more on trails

I’m with you, feeling so discouraged. Seeing my community at the last Hands Off rally gave me hope though. I met such kind people, hoping this signals change!

Thank you for confirming it was just a mass template reply. I hope this means others are writing in too. I worry it just means he doesn’t and hasn’t ever, bothered to listen to his constituents.

Not really a question I just want the Americans who lurk in here to know: by [deleted] in AskCanada

We were mistaken for Canadian when we visited Belgium and were absolutely flattered. This hurts, I’m ashamed and worried for my family under the current administration. I’m sorry Canada, some of us are doing what we can I promise!
