<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from North Carolina. You may have seen this email below on the CoSA listserv or from SAA or NAGARA. We are trying to spread the word broadly about this national advocacy push to encourage funding for archival grant programs
and the reauthorization of NHPRC. On a recent visit to DC I was able to participate in some meetings that included staff members from
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Rep. Jim Jordan’s office and the Oversight and Reform Committee</span>. It was a great meeting with his committee staff and staff from the chair (Rep. Cummings of Maryland). They both seemed to be interested
in reauthorization of NHPRC as a bi-partisan issue. <span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
I’m hoping that we can have some grass roots support for this issue, specifically in Rep. Jordan’s district.</span> Anything you can do to spread the word about this webinar and advocacy efforts would be greatly appreciated, hopefully with your SHRAB and other
contacts. If anyone has questions about the webinar or the advocacy efforts, they can certainly contact me directly.<o:p></o:p></p>

and their staff about the vital role of archives and the value of archival collections can turn ambivalence or hostility into loyal support!<br>
<br>
Later this month and into early May, archivists around the country will be visiting their local Congressional District offices to advocate on behalf of federal funding for archives. These visits are a follow-up to last August's successful "Archives on the Hill"
event, sponsored by the Council of State Archivists (<a href="https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.statearchivists.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C347b4cc0c47d42c4709108d6c1c669ea%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C636909455279851582&sdata=okMNX6FNxx45wnd9%2BSIK7n2cppApMrvCQy1NU3aaqMs%3D&reserved=0" title="https://www.statearchivists.org/">CoSA</a>),

<br>
JOIN members of the Joint Working Group on Issues and Awareness (a committee of CoSA, NAGARA, RAAC, and SAA) for this preparatory webinar where presenters will discuss the basics of a Congressional office visit, messaging ideas, and offer other practical advice
for contacting your Representative or Senator.<br>
<br>
This webinar and subsequent office visits comes at a perfect time: just before Congress begins mark-ups and hearings on the President's budget bill – a budget submission that cuts many federal programs that are vital to archives, including the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA), as well as zero-budgeting and slating for closing the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Now is the time for us to raise our voices in support of federal funding for archives!<br>
<br>
