"On June 25, NEH rescinded PA Humanities' grant termination... Meaning $1.1 million is still lost to the state for FY25. To me, this is simply unacceptable."
Thank you, @repdean.bsky.social, for standing up for the humanities at yesterday’s House Appropriations Committee markup!

PA Humanities supports libraries through transformational educational programs but the future of this work is uncertain.
The NEH is being dismantled and we have been defunded by DOGE. The time to speak up to #SavePAHumanities and #ProtectNEH is now.

This week, we presented to a packed room of legislators and cultural leaders at the PA Arts & Culture Caucus in Harrisburg.
We shared new research highlighting the critical role of the cultural sector in driving economic development and community well-being—and the urgent need for strong support.
