ISC’s Community Action Update podcast series is back with an episode centered on critical arts funding legislation YOU have the power to support! The Advancing Equity Through the Arts and Humanities Act (H.R. 3239) would support public and nonprofit organizations that use the Arts to combat racism with funding and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. In this episode you won’t want to miss an exclusive message from California’s 12th District Representative Barbara Lee who reintroduced this legislation last month! ISC has a special connection to H.R. 3239 as ensemble members Sabra Williams and Carene Rose Mekertichyan were part of the collective of local artists who drafted the legislation. In this episode, you’ll hear from two more members of the Arts Justice Coalition; Bay Area Grammy-nominated musician, educator, and member of Digital Underground Mystic and friend of ISC, actress, producer, and Founder/Executive Director of Support Black Theatre Sophina Brown. Their words will leave you inspired and moved to act. Access the H.R. 3239 toolkit at bit.ly/HR3239-Toolkit and head to iscla.org/justice to learn more about the artists, organizations, and action items mentioned in this episode.
