SMA Statement on IMLS

The recent cuts to IMLS funding are an emergency for museums of all sizes. Advocacy is not just about lobbying Congress; it starts at the local level. Just as people vote to create change in their communities, small museums can activate their local networks to build support and become an integral part of the civic landscape.

We know museum professionals are already stretched thin. Adding another responsibility to an already overwhelming workload may feel impossible—but if we do not act now, the future of our institutions and the funding that supports them are at risk and quickly being dismantled.
