SIGN THE PETITION: Stand Against Trump's Budget Proposal to Defund IMLS.

Trump is more emboldened than ever to destroy library funding. We need you to take action today!

9,510 signatures
Goal: 20,000 signatures

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal.

On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

His proposal also seeks to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), AmeriCorps, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

These attacks are ideologically motivated and structurally dangerous to our educational, civic, cultural, and community institutions.

Will you sign?

I stand in strong opposition to President Trump’s budget proposal. IMLS funding provides essential federal funding for state library agencies and competitive funding for programs that expand access, build workforce development, and promote lifelong learning across the nation. These funds allow state libraries to extend core services to public, school, academic, and tribal libraries in every community. Cutting it would create chaos for library systems already working with lean budgets, deeply undermine services for some of the most underserved Americans, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars in added expenses.
