Summit has welcomed grassroots advocates from across the country to Washington, D.C., to learn from each other and meet with members of Congress about arts and culture legislative issues and impact. The Summit has also been one of Americans for the Arts’ central events.  </p> <p>During last year’s Strategic Realignment Process, we heard from our stakeholders that advocacy is both one of our key strengths and their top priorities. We also heard that <em>how</em> we do our work is as important as <em>what</em> we do. Based on direct feedback from members and stakeholders like you, we have adopted <strong>Equitable Advocacy</strong> as the lens through which all our decisions are made. This approach will intentionally create more inclusive, diverse, and accessible practices, relationships, and programming.</p> <p>As you know, advocacy doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It doesn’t exist only in Washington, D.C. And it isn’t limited to one time of year. Advocacy happens every day, in every community, across this country. And it takes all of us. With this in mind, we are flipping the script on the Summit and instead launching a year-long advocacy program, complete with webinar trainings, D.C.-based Legislative Fly-ins to lobby members of Congress, and Fly-outs for our staff to come to your communities to do advocacy training together throughout the country. </p> <p>I’m excited to share this new approach with you and hope this overview provides insight into our arts advocacy plan for 2023. Please explore the Advocacy Plan details below as well as read our <strong><a href="/2023-advocacy-plan-faqs">FAQs</a></strong> for more information.  </p> <p>I invite you to take this brief <strong><a href="https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7179817/2023-Americans-for-the-Arts-Member-Policy-Survey">Arts Policy Survey</a></strong> and share your top five federal legislative priorities by February 22, 2023. This will help us focus federal advocacy efforts on the arts policy issues that mean the most to you. I look forward to working together to advocate more strategically for arts and culture at the federal level.  </p> <p>This program will evolve over the year, and we welcome your input along the way. Please share your questions and feedback with us. You can also <strong><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4f212d26392a213c0f2e3d3b3c3a3c2e61203d28">contact me</a></strong> directly or <strong><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#87d3f4f0e6eee9c7e6f5f3f4f2f4e6a9e8f5e0">Tooshar Swain</a></strong> for federal government affairs issues or <strong><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#93d9f2ead3f2e1e7e0e6e0f2bdfce1f4">Jay Dick</a></strong> for state and local government affairs issues.

We will look first to our local arts agency members to fill these Federal District Captain roles. Americans for the Arts will offer a stipend to each of the captains to acknowledge their time and work on behalf of artists and arts organizations in their state/district.
