Contact your elected Representative in Washington and tell them to VOTE NO on the Brecheen FY'25 Interior Appropriations amendments. Don't allow any more cuts to arts & humanities funding! #StandUp4Arts

CALL TO ACTION! Urgent action is needed to prevent catastrophic cuts to Title I and the elimination of Title II funding, which would be devastating to music programs. Send a letter to your representatives before Thursday, September 28! Take action here: bit.ly/462Vt5D
