Restore Arts, History, and Tourism Appropriations through FY19 NJ State Budget Resolutions

Posted on June 5, 2018

Please send an email or call your district legislators TODAY and ask them to support budget resolutions offered in the NJ Senate and NJ Assembly that request arts, tourism, and history appropriations be restored to FY05 levels ($22.68 million for arts, $12.76 million for tourism, $3.84 million for history, and $720k for NJ Cultural Trust). Budget resolutions were submitted on June 4 for the FY19 state budget which must be approved by June 30. Senator Troy Singleton (D-NJ 7) and Assemblywoman Pat Egan Jones (D-NJ 5) have submitted these resolutions.

If you choose to make a phone call, the pre-worded email will provide you with a phone script. The “ask” is to request your legislators to support this budget resolution as “one of their top three funding priorities.”

Your action is needed NOW. Our goals is to recruit 25 NJ Senators and 50 NJ Assemblypersons to commit their support.

If you have questions about this campaign, please contact Ann Marie Miller at the ArtPride office at 609-479-3377 ext. 307 or by email at amiller@artpridenj.com

Thank you in advance for your support!

Have Drama Therapists and Dance/Movement Therapists Licensing Act Placed on Commerce Committee Agenda

Posted on June 5, 2018

In this legislative session, the Drama Therapists and Dance/Movement Therapists Licensing Act bill has already passed through the State Assembly. Unfortunately, we are not  on the agenda on June 11, so we are now urging the Senator to add our bill to the agenda of the next Commerce Committee meeting. The new chairperson of this Committee is Senator Pou.

Here is where you come in! Please take a few minutes to send an email to Senator Pou and her legislative assistant. Here is a quick and easy way to make your voice heard and help move our bill forward. Ask your friends and family to write to Senator Pou, as well, even if they do not live in NJ.
