Thank you, Arts Advocates!
In the midst of the pandemic, you answered our call to urge your legislators to support the arts. More than 430 people registered to be part of our 117 virtual meetings with more than half the members of the Minnesota House and Senate.
Your stories and presence make a difference!
Our work is not done yet – please send a follow up thank you note to your legislators remind them why arts funding is important to you. If you were not able to join us for Advocacy Week, please send a follow up message using this link: Virtual Arts Advocacy: Ask Legislators to Protect Arts Funding.
Please encourage your friends, board members of organizations where you work, and volunteers/patrons of your favorite arts groups to contact their legislators, too. You may simply forward this email message to them.
These videos are great to share and enjoy again:

I want to give a special shout-out to our Arts Advocacy Week Team Leaders. These great arts leaders give their own time and inspiration to help the arts community connect with their legislators and protect arts funding. Thank them!
