<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Dear NCH Members,</span><br style="font-size:12.8px">
<br style="font-size:12.8px">
<span style="font-size:12.8px">As you know, the Trump administration has proposed devastating cuts to federal history, archival and museum programs. Attached is an in-depth analysis of the Trump FY18 budget request to Congress and its potential impact (see
attached).</span><br style="font-size:12.8px">
<br style="font-size:12.8px">
<span style="font-size:12.8px">House Appropriations Committee subcommittees are currently holding budget hearings and will be drafting their spending bills very soon.<b> Now is the time for you to urge your members to contact their representatives in support
of these federal programs that are vital to our community. We try not to overwhelm you with these requests to contact the Hill, so be assured it is urgent that you ask your members to act today!</b></span><br style="font-size:12.8px">
<br style="font-size:12.8px">
<span style="font-size:12.8px">This year we are suggesting you direct your members to send their messages to Congress through the National Humanities Alliance’s legislative action center which can be found at: </span><a href="http://p2a.co/kVFEeav" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">http://p2a.co/kVFEeav</a>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
There you will find four alerts on the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and Title VI/Fulbright-Hays international education programs.
Using this one-stop shopping approach we feel is more efficient than sending multiple alerts. These agencies and programs are the most endangered since the Trump administration has proposed eliminating all four of them.<br>
<br>
Our suggested alert to your members is attached. You can cut and paste from this to tailor it to your organization’s needs.
<b>Please be sure to stress the urgency of your members taking action immediately.<br>
</b><br>
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. As always, thank you for your support of the National Coalition for History!<br>
