I’ll have a sample letter/script for you to use specifically for seeking emergency aid for the Oregon Symphony, but the campaign below, organized by the American Federation of Musicians (our national union body) is a good start to get a basic message of support for all entertainment workers to your members of Congress. I urge you to take part tonight. Many peoples’ livelihoods depend on it! Thank you!
Protect Entertainment Workers
Musicians and other entertainment workers are uniquely impacted by coronavirus. This pandemic has pushed the entire entertainment industry into an unprecedented crisis.
Live concerts, theatrical productions, club dates, and recording sessions have been shut down. This has meant an overnight loss of work for entertainment workers—leaving thousands unable to pay for rent or food and jeopardizing their healthcare coverage.
We need you to contact your legislators and tell them to protect entertainment workers during this pandemic.
