Aftyn Behn ran one of the most inspiring campaigns of this cycle.
It’s easy to be inspired by a candidate who’s expected to win; it’s another thing entirely to watch someone fight for a community even when the odds are long.
Thank you for all that you sparked with your campaign!

We stand with @deluzio.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov and the other members of congress who made a video encouraging our active duty military, and intelligence community members to refuse to follow any illegal orders. Spreading that message is not sedition, it’s patriotism in action.

A March 14 Executive Order dismantles IMLS, the only federal agency funding libraries. The order halts future funding and mandates the agencies cut services and staff to the legal minimum.
If you don't have a library card, now would be a good time to get one!
