Advocating for the Arts

SAG-AFTRA member David Dastmalchian spoke at the National Arts Action Summit kickoff event in Washington, D.C., on March 4. Americans for the Arts hosts an advocacy summit annually in D.C. to shine a light on the importance of funding for the arts in the United States. SAG-AFTRA has been a proud partner for several years. Several SAG-AFTRA member leaders attended this summit and met with members of Congress to advocate for the critical funding of the National Endowment for the Arts in 2020.
