CALL TO POLITICAL ACTION!

President Trump has released his initial budget proposal, and it eliminates the NEA, NIH and privatizes the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Call your United States representatives today, and tell them this is unacceptable.
 
The 2016 NEA budget was just $148 million, a drop in the bucket for a country with a budget in the range of $4 trillion. However, does not make the NEA any less important to American communities and values, to say nothing of their symbolic importance.
 
Even if your representative has publicly supported the arts in the past, don't hesitate to call. We must remind our elected officials that the NEA is an important part of creating healthy, vibrant, inclusive communities.  
 
Join Local 802 and ask your members of Congress to defend the national arts organization that has supported our industry since 1965!
