“An AFSCME-backed lawsuit has successfully forced the release of millions in withheld federal funding for our nation’s libraries and museums.

Libraries and museums are at the heart of so many communities. We won’t stop fighting for them.”

The federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will release millions in grant funding to libraries and museums it was withholding.

Public libraries aren't just for checking out books—they can be live-saving for those looking to access health care. No one knows this better than AFSCME Colorado member and bilingual patron experience associate Sharon Sherman, who helps people at the Jefferson County Public Library get resources they need, including information on how to access Medicaid. That’s why she’s taking a stand against the devastating cuts “Big Beautiful Bill” and the resulting sky rocking health care costs. Join Sharon in calling your members of Congress — tell them Congress should make health care more affordable, not less. https://act.afscme.org/forms/tell-congress-to-lower-health-care-costs/?clear_id=true&no_rewrite=true
