Woman holding a sign saying, “Release the immigrants, imprison the pedophiles.” The sign also has a yellow crown behind bars.Two women on a sidewalk holding signs that say, “My ancestors fought to depose a king in 1776. Guess it’s my turn now.” And, “No crown for clowns.”Protestors with signs line both sides of a busy street, while one person in a Cookie Monster costume holds a sign saying, “ICE OUT NOW. No one is safe until all of us are safe.”

ALA is deeply disappointed in the result of today's Senate vote to reject using #ERate funding for wi-fi hotspot programs. The E-Rate program is broadly popular and admired, helping millions of Americans get online through the library and at school. More from ALA President Cindy Hohl ⤵️
"This disappointing vote doesn't need to become law if House members consider how many constituents are benefitting - and will benefit in the future from this program. The enthusiasm for this vote was low. E-Rate, supported financially by the Universal Service Fund, is wildly popular. Individuals and families need internet access and digital skills training that libraries are uniquely suited to provide. Hotspots provided through the federal E-Rate program offer flexible, at-home opportunity for internet access, which individuals and families need, along with digital skills training, and that libraries are uniquely suited to provide." - ALA President Cindy Hohl. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
