On December 5th, we will vote on a millage that could cut funding to the libraries by 40%. Library workers will almost certainly face layoffs if this millage passes. But it's exceptionally confusing - why is the Mayor lowering taxes during a financial crisis? Does this money go to fund early childhood education? What happens if this millage fails? Does the library have a surplus in their budget? On Thursday, November 19th and December 3rd, we'll be doing a teach-in about how this millage proposal works and what the impacts of it will be if it passes in December. Join us for the teach-in and stay to help us call voters in New Orleans and ask them to save the libraries!&nbsp; Join this virtual phonebank to make calls to voters with friends, or if you'd rather phonebank on your own time,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.openvpb.com/vpb_bycode/6325C4I-394589">you can use this remote phonebank link</a>&nbsp;anytime between 8:30 AM and 8:30 PM to call voters (with a built in script!).&nbsp; <a href="https://tulane.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkcOihrjIpHdFVya9YF0mwOndfvoqXaOp9">Register for the virtual phonebank here.</a>
