Hi everyone,
Please find
We helped recruit 142 signers for the letter, which is 17 more signers than last year's letter.
The additional support in the House for increased NEA funding is a
testament to the AEMI unions and your members who took action over the
past three weeks! It also positions us well to continue working on our
goal of funding the NEA and NEH at $331 million each.
The Senate arts funding request letter will stay open through much of May, so please continue to promote the Action Network petition with your members. (We updated the petition so that it will only direct participants to send messages to their U.S. senators.)
As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Michael
