With a new President and a new Congress, museums have had a lot at stake this year and many of these battles are not yet over. Federal funding will continue to be a major issue in 2018, and museums could also be significantly impacted by tax reform, education policy, infrastructure legislation, and more.

 But legislators do not know how museums are impacted, and how they serve citizens, if they don’t hear it from you—the people they represent. Help make sure museums are at the table in 2018, not on the table.
