The president's administration has targeted federal agencies directly responsible for supporting local libraries, museums, arts, and humanities for wholesale dismantlement, while canceling existing support previously committed to communities and, at least in some cases, illegally impounding funds. While court orders have paused some of these actions, harm is being felt nationwide.

Join Women for Kansas Lawrence/Douglas County Chapter for a

discussion of the impacts on our local museums and libraries. Following the presentation, there will be time for some questions from the audience. Find out how we can support our local museums and libraries and the many services and programs they provide.

Panel discussion will be live-streamed and accessible to watch on the Watkins Facebook page and You Tube Channel.

All are welcome at our nonpartisan, civic events! 

Democracy needs us to be informed and to participate!
