Advocacy alert: @humanitiesall.bsky.social has learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH "with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded." Tell your officials you support the NEH: p2a.co/DdtlGIT
URGENT: Save the NEH
I just took action to oppose the elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities! Join me and take action here.

This is a really good idea. Many students (and the general public) go straight to YouTube when they want to learn things. If you're concerned about the amount of misinformation flooding the digital space, contributing your expertise* is a concrete way you can push back.
