Advocacy comes in many forms. We couldn't do it without you!

GET INVOLVED

Why is it important to advocate for the public humanities? Public humanities allow for opportunities to explore human history, culture, values, and beliefs. This exploration helps the collective be more informed and empathetic, which often leads to a deeper understanding of oneself and others.

The humanities make the world safe for difference. If you value what that means, please consider being a public humanities advocate. Check out our suggestions below and thank you for your continued support.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

If you value the public humanities and want to advocate for the communities that benefit from them, you can make a difference. Contact your elected officials to share your views on NEH funding.

The National Humanities Alliance has an easy-to-use advocacy tool on their website. With one call, you can be connected to three different delegates.
The Federation of State Humanities Councils has advocacy resources on their website. The Take Action page provides clear and easy-to-follow information about how to connect with congressional delegates to share your thoughts on the value of humanities funding.
On the NJCH Resource page, you will find template letters for Federal and State representatives.
