Advocacy Alert – April 21, 2022

Last Chance! Deadline is Tomorrow – Ask Your Representative to Sign On Today

Representatives Paul Tonko (D-NY), David McKinley (R-WV), Chellie Pingree (D-ME), and Andy Barr (R-KY) will soon conclude circulating a letter in the House of Representatives calling for robust FY 2023 funding for the Office of Museum Services (OMS) at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This is our last chance in the House to secure additional signatures. (A similar Senate letter will be circulating soon.) The deadline for Representatives to join this letter is Friday, April 22. See the list of current signers below to determine whether your Representative has signed on. If so, be sure to thank them.

If not, take a couple of minutes to use our template and ask your Representative to sign on today. These letters are a key measure of legislators’ support for federal funding for museums. While AAM continues to communicate with Congressional offices, it’s critical that your legislators hear directly from constituents like you about this important opportunity to support museums. If you contacted your legislators already but have yet to hear back, please send another message. Securing these signatures sometimes takes several touches, and reaching out again can help make sure your voice is heard.

Please contact your Representative today!
