CONTACT YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS TODAY!

The U.S. House has now passed two COVID-19 relief bills that have seen no viable action in the U.S. Senate. In last 24 hours, there has been renewed bipartisan negotiations on Capitol Hill that some relief may be passed in the next several days, but we need to urge support for relief that will sustain the arts sector's unique capacity to support the U.S. economy, uplift the human spirit, and provide lifelong learning. 

We need you to contact your members of Congress now
to urge them to support the arts and creative sector in COVID relief.

You are invited to
