Legislators do not know how their decisions affect museums and museum workers if they don’t hear directly from advocates like you. Together, we’ve defeated several threats to eliminate federal agencies supporting museums and helped secure billions of dollars in federal relief funding for museums. Don’t miss this unique and powerful field-wide opportunity to make your voice heard, connect with hundreds of advocates across the country, and build your own advocacy skills.

Museums are essential to communities and to helping society address many of our most pressing issues. Ensure Congress knows how critical museums are to our nation’s education system, economy, and recovery from the pandemic.

REGISTER TODAY

Unable to join Museums Advocacy Day Congressional meetings? You can still build your advocacy skills and ensure you are up-to-date on the most important issues facing the museum field by registering for the Advocacy Program Without Congressional Meetings package.

Contact Congress: Urge Your Legislators to Include Museums in COVID-19 Relief

Discussions have begun in the U.S. Congress concerning the possibility of additional COVID-19 relief for hard hit industries. While enactment of another relief package is far from certain, please take two minutes to use our template letter to urge your Representative and Senators to include museums in any forthcoming COVID-19 relief.

Tell Congress: Act Now – Support Relief Funding
for Museums Impacted by COVID-19
