[ [link removed] ]FOX KTVU: AG Bonta files lawsuit over executive order targeting
libraries
President Trump issued an illegal executive order to dismantle multiple
federal agencies, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS), that provide crucial funding to California’s libraries, museums,
zoos, businesses, and more.
Like many of Trump’s executive orders, this is illegal: he does not have
the power to shutter these agencies and cut their funding that was
previously approved by Congress. That’s why Rob filed his 12th lawsuit
against this administration to stop it. [ [link removed] ]If he has your support, will
you pitch in $5 now?
The AG’s lawsuit aims to stop this unlawful order, which would hurt many
federal workers and the essential services they provide to support
American families, businesses, workers, and our cultural heritage.
In California alone, we employ approximately 17,000 employees who staff
1,127 libraries and serve 23 million California library card holders
across the state. The end of the IMLS could mean the end to decades of
funding it has provided for community services such as:
* Support for tutors helping adults and children read, write, and learn
English;
* Summer reading and activity programs, and services that help feed
low-income children when school is out;
* Continuing education for librarians and library workers;
* A 300,000-title eBook library accessible to all Californians;
* Digital efforts to protect California’s cultural heritage and local
history.
If Trump’s unconstitutional order stands, it would also threaten grants
that support California's incredible museums, from the San Diego Zoo to
the Exploratorium in San Francisco to Los Angeles' Autry Museum of the
American West.
Once again, the Trump administration is breaking the law by attempting to
unilaterally shut down agencies the President doesn’t like — so Rob is
taking him to court.
