House and Senate Appropriations Letters Now Circulating - Ask Your Legislators to Sign On Today!
Representatives Paul Tonko (D-NY), David McKinley (R-WV), Chellie Pingree (D-ME) and Andy Barr (R-KY), and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) are now circulating letters in their respective chambers calling for robust funding for the Office of Museum Services (OMS) at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
It just takes a couple of minutes to use our template and ask your Representative and Senators to sign on today. These letters are a key measure of legislators' support for federal funding for museums, and they are especially important now to build on our momentum from Museums Advocacy Day. The deadline for Representatives to sign this letter has yet to be determined while the deadline for Senators is Friday, March 12.
Please contact your Representative and Senators today! See our link for finding your Oregon state legislators.
