Be An Arts Hero - Volunteer Opportunities (Social Media and More)

BeAnArtHero is an intersectional grassroots campaign comprised of Arts & Culture workers, Unions, and institutions in the United States pushing the Senate to allocate proportionate relief to the Arts & Culture sector of the American economy. Right now it's 100% run by volunteers. 

The team has been very hard at work writing and meeting with congressional staff. They have created the DAWN ACT (DEFEND ART WORKERS NOW) and are bringing it to DC for support. This bill authorizes the NEA, NEH, IMLS, CPB, SBA $43.85 billion to make grants to all art workers and related businesses to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on all Arts Workers across the national Arts Economy.

But we still have so much work to do and need your help to do it!  From there we hope to put you on a project that will align with your skills and passions.
