Music Education Advocacy Action Alert

To coincide with the House Appropriations Committee markup of the FY2017 Labor-HHS-Education bill markup, NAfME and the Music Education Roundtable has begun its grassroots advocacy push for Title IV, Part A funding. We urge you to contact your members of Congress and ask them to support music education by fully funding Title IV, Part A. Please take action by sending your Representatives and Senators a short letter via the NAfME Grassroots Action Center at bit.ly/NAfMEgrassroots. Please share this action link with, colleagues, peers, and other supporters of music education. The action alert will stay active well into September.

Thank you for your continued support. Our collective advocacy helped us reach this point through the passage of ESSA; let us now make sure its programs are appropriately funded to make music education a priority!

As we know, with a music economy based upon live performance and socially close collaboration among creators, educators and business people, our industry was affected far more than most.
