Request Advocacy Resource Funds

The Advocacy Resource Fund was created to educate and to oppose any current or future legislation, regulations, or executive orders that infringe upon first amendment rights and intellectual freedom. Funds may be allocated or requested by MLA members to provide training for library or school board members and staff on strengthening collection development/diversity and inclusion/other internal policies.  Advocacy Resource Funds may also provide funding in response to challenges to intellectual freedom, provide for trauma therapy for library staff, support ongoing communications with legislators, and/or any activity that heightens public awareness of the value and importance of libraries.
