Virtual Town Halls with California Legislators — CalNonprofits

CalNonprofits is co-hosting virtual town halls with California lawmakers from around the state. Join CalNonprofits CEO Jan Masaoka and Public Policy Director Lucy Salcido Carter on for a webinar-style town hall where you'll hear directly from the California lawmakers representing your area, and from philanthropy, and nonprofits on what’s going on at the state and federal levels in response to COVID-19 and how these policies impact nonprofits.

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?
