<div dir="ltr">Yesterday's march has captured my daughter's imagination and sparked conversation. As opposed to the overall disdain for the current situation, I've been telling my 14 y/o that it's important to rally around areas we feel strongly about and send letters/make phone calls. Choose a cause, or several, and voice concerns.<div>The NEA is a perfect example. I was thinking that I'd like to find out what art those who want to nix the NEA likes. Then find out if any of the artists benefited from the NEA. Then, write to the members of congress/senate/state/etc. and point out that they, indeed, have received value from the NEA. Other then PBS, Sesame St., etc.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 21, 2017 at 6:46 PM, herrick goldman via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hear hear...<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We can certainly discuss the cutting of the NEA (-also a Hitler move) and betsy devos as the education pick.
