This episode of The Friday Brief is a call to action to support U.S. libraries and museums, which risk federal funding cuts under the Trump administration. Libraries and museums are generally not a political issue, and there's still bipartisan support to protect them. However, we must tell Congress members that we care and that this matters to our communities. The American Library Association (ALA) has a Show Up #ForOurLibraries campaign. You can find advocacy resources, including how to contact your members of Congress, on ala.org/showup.
