Today, ahead of the hearing, DPE sent the attached letter for the record to Chairman Jerry Moran and Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal. Our letter reiterates our urgent ask that Congress provide continued economic support for creative professionals impacted by COVID-19. We also sent our Nov. 2020 document:

"Economic Support Needed for Creative Professionals Impacted by COVID-19," 

so that our specific policy asks are also included in the record. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Michael
