CALIFORNIA BUDGET CRISIS FOR 2003-2004!
ACTION REQUESTED BEFORE 1pm MONDAY
We have one more chance BEFORE 1pm Monday when the Conference Committee reconvenes to get our message in front of them:
Support the California Arts Advocates
Fair Share Cut $20 million Arts Council Budget.
Elected officials say they are getting more communication on the Arts Budget than most other budget items. And they have been thoughtful, professional missives that are passionate about why what we do in the arts is so important for California.
