Advocating for Musicians: Why DC Matters
Government advocacy is important to make sure that the voices of independent artists are heard by policy makers in Washington, DC and in your states and cities. Many laws and policies are being changed, re-considered, or discussed which could have wide-ranging impacts on musicians, their royalties, and even their ability to tour easily in other countries. It is only possible to actively fight for your fair share in a changing market-place by speaking up. Why? The companies, services, and collectives are speaking up - your voice needs to be part of the conversation. This panel will tell attendees just how to go about doing this important work!
