To all my very good FEAST friends — I was astonished to receive this from the APA today — its first post- T(yrant) missive to me. Compared to all the really awful things T is doing — advocating torture, reinstating black sites, barring refugees on grounds of religion/country of origin, building the “stupid wall” as Elizabeth Warren called it — I’m appalled that the APA is worried about NEH fellowships for the likes of us very privileged professionals. This is a low priority for me. Can the APA be convinced to address values and justice questions that matter to desperately vulnerable people? I’d like that. Diana

Subject: NHA action alert: Oppose the elimination of NEH

Dear Diana,

There are reports that the Trump Administration is considering a budget blueprint that would call for the elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

This is the time to let President Trump and your Members of Congress know that you support the NEH!

Learn more about this blueprint and plans to stop it here.

We are asking supporters of the humanities to email and/or call their Members of Congress and the White House to express support for NEH.

The National Humanities Alliance has created an email and phone patch-through system to make it quick and easy to contact your representatives. I urge you to take advantage of the system to call and email today.

All the best,

Amy E. Ferrer
