PETITION: Protect the Center for Disease Control Library Staff at the CDC Library were laid off on October 10th and have not been brought back. Sign the petition to call for their return.

The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.

Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.

PETITION: Support the Right to Read in Defense Department Schools and Academies Military students deserve the rights they or their families are fighting for.

The parents of these students are fighting for our freedoms abroad, yet those same freedoms are being eroded in their children's schools at home.

SIGN THE PETITION: Stand Against Trump's Budget Proposal to Defund IMLS. Trump is more emboldened than ever to destroy library funding. We need you to take action today!

On May 2, 2025, the Trump Administration released its FY2026 federal budget proposal.

On page 39 he calls for the complete elimination of the only federal agency dedicated solely to supporting America’s libraries and museums.

Senator Cory Booker has now beaten Ted Cruz' record for a speech on the Senate floor (21 hours and 19 minutes) in 2013.

Way to go, Cory!!!!!!

Next up: Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon who lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953.

And only 3 hours to beat Strom Thurman's all-time record!

Keep going!

The Trump Administration has slashed billions of dollars from programs to prevent infectious disease and address the substance use crisis - including in Illinois. I sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy calling on him to reverse these cuts that threaten the health and safety of our communities.

Statement on IMLS Staff Administrative Leave IMLS is responsible for distributing Federal Funding for libraries. This action will interrupt IMLS's vital, congressionally funded work. We cannot allow IMLS to be dismantled by executive action.

IMLS staff were placed on administrative leave following the Trump Administration’s Executive Order, which eliminated federal funding for libraries.

Take action today!
