We need to send a clear message to Massachusetts State Representatives by Friday, April 11 that arts and culture matter.
The budget released on Wednesday, April 9 by the MA House Ways & Means Committee slashes the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s budget by more than 50% from $11.1 million to $5 million.
Send an email to your Representative urging him/her to co-sponsor the amendment by Rep. Cory Atkins to fund the Massachusetts Cultural Council at $16 million.
The good news is that the budget battle is just beginning. You can make a difference by showing our Representatives that investing in the creative community is not just nice, but necessary.
Help spread the word to your colleagues, supporters, friends, and family:
- Send an email to your colleagues and supporters. See MASSCreative’s sample.
- Post on social media. See MASSCreative’s samples.
- Check out MASSCreative’s fact sheet to help make your case.
See MCC’s Advocacy Action Center for further information.
