In this rapidly changing environment, answers aren't easy to get, and sometimes nonprofit needs are left out of the discussion. Join us for a virtual town hall where you'll hear directly from the California lawmaker representing your area and CalNonprofits leaders on what’s going on in Sacramento and at the federal level in response to COVID-19 and how these policies impact nonprofits.

Speakers:
Maleka Chris, CEO, Love Beyond Limits
Jan Masaoka, CEO, CalNonprofits
Lucy Salcido Carter, Public Policy Director, CalNonprofits

Here are some sample questions to ask your legislators:

• As many artists and arts organizations are unable to earn revenue as gathering is critical to our business models, would you support emergency funding relief for the arts and creative sector?

• Would you support a workforce development and training program for the arts to get creatives and artists back to work? A WPA for the 2020?

• How have you seen the arts be effective in your districts both economically and as part of the social service framework as investors in community?
