The National Humanities Alliance (NHA) has issued an urgent call-to-action related to an amendment that would cut the National Endowment for the Humanities' (NEH) funding by 27.5%!
NEH distributes millions of dollars of grants that support the preservation, digitization, access, public programming, and exhibition efforts of archives, among many other programs that benefit cultural heritage organizations.
Consider using the NHA's call-to-action tool in the forwarded e-mail below. Or, look up your Representative and call their DC office and tell them about your concerns.
Thank you,

Subject: [External] URGENT: Oppose an Amendment to Severely Cut Funding for the NEH
| | | Yesterday afternoon, Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK-02) introduced an amendment to the FY 2025 Interior Appropriations bill that would drastically cut funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). In the coming days, the House will likely vote on the amendment. The amendment would cut the NEH's FY 25 funding to $150 million-a $57 million cut from its FY 24 funding level and a $53.9 million cut from the House's current proposed funding for FY 25. We need to act fast to ensure that Members of Congress reject this amendment! Quickly fill out the following form to ask your Members of Congress to oppose this amendment! It is crucial that your Members of Congress hear from you as soon as possible to ensure that Congress rejects this proposal. Let your Members of Congress know that you support the NEH!
