We cannot overstate the cruelty of this horrifying EO.

When will our “leaders” take meaningful action? It is obvious they have learned NOTHING from history. It is no longer party politics flitting about. This is humanity and morality, and we are failing.

"This is a Place We Made: Centering Place in Disability History" will take place this Thursday, July 24 from 1-2:30pm ET. Learn more and register today at community.ncph.org/events/Event.... CART & ASL will be provided.

One week after terminating the employment of over 100 staff at the National Endowment for the Humanities, the agency posts four open positions...but we who are now unemployed are not "eligible" to apply for them.

The absolute cruelty is more apparent than ever. #NEH

We are accepting applications for the NCPH Membership Coordinator through Friday, June 13. Learn more about this full-time position (with benefits) and submit your application or share it with someone who would be great for the role at ncph.org/job/ncph-mem...!

Staff

Woke up this morning unemployed from our federal government positions.

Might we make a small request? Please spend a few minutes today browsing the names & bios of #NEH staff, most of whom are now without jobs, before the agency erases us from its memory. #humanities

This is unacceptable. I will continue to do all I can to fight this.

It is RIF separation day at NEH. More than 100 of us lose our jobs today. Our hearts are heavy and broken. None of this had to happen.

Fellow NEHers, we cross this threshold together. One we hoped would never appear.

We will continue to stand as tall as we can. 🤍

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.

Friends, as much fun as it is to play "Goon, fiend, or wanker? with the Trump regime, the sad reality is that this regime is actively attacking the LGBTQ+ community. Please share this LGBTQ+ friendly one-pager of mental health resources widely #PrideMonth #MentalHealth #AltComms

Read this and weep (truly) for the decimation of six decades of staff, applicant, grantee, and public investment in the #humanities, all eliminated, and for what?

Unlike previous budget proposals, this one does not even take the effort or space to highlight the impact of past #NEH accomplishments.

This is the kind of piece you can send to your relatives: a personal story, embedded in the larger history of the NEH. Pass it along, together with a link to impact.ach.org so they can look up which grants have been canceled in their area and reach out to their representatives.

Yay! Good to see you here!
