BREAKING — Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) staffers who were put on admin leave on Monday just got letters letting them know they’re a part of a Reduction in Force (RIF) and that their job will be “abolished” effective May 4th in accordance with Trump’s EO, per copy reviewed by me.

Like many others I am dismayed by the effort to end IMLS. I know IMLS matters to so many people. I put together the following site to collect and share stories of how "IMLS matters" to people. Please consider submitting a story.

IMLS is under attack. They’ve been instrumental in digital humanities and GLAM. Make noise, spread the word, call your reps.
IMLS co-funded my 1st NEH grant, which later became the Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium & introduced 1000s of students of color to DH. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Thinking of that time I had to go to the fair grounds for packet pickup for a race (I think the BR Turkey Trot) and there was no way to walk on to the grounds safely…I had to enter on 38th and walk with the cars going in. Cars over people felt so odd for the fair grounds, especially in that context.
Look, they’re building a new toll plaza, uh, I mean, STATE FAIR BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT
