ADVOCACY TOOLS

The more public radio music supporter voices we have, the bigger our impact can be on Capitol Hill. From grassroots mobilization to lobbying where you live, the Alliance created this suite of assets for partners to use to ensure that the voice of public radio music stations is heard at this critical time.

As the Alliance continues to advocate for what matters to you here in DC, we encourage partners to advocate for the priorities of public radio music stations at the local level. There is no need to fly to DC to make a difference; your federal Representatives and Senators have local offices that are available to you. If you have any questions about lobbying where you live, please contact Marta McLellan Ross. We’ve also crafted a suite of tools below for your use in these meetings.
