Contact Senators!
Things are moving fast in the halls of the PA General Assembly. The House of Representatives will be considering, and possibly voting on HB 1416 which does include funding for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA). The bill is scheduled to go to the Senate on Monday where it will need bipartisan support for passage.
We need you to contact several senators from the southeast region of Pennsylvania asking TODAY. Below is their contact information so contact them by fax, phone and email. The message is “Support the $14 million for grants to the arts and $1.2 million for council on the arts.” [UPDATE: you do not need to live in the southeast region to contact these senators!!!]
