Supporting Candidates Who Support Music
AFM members have joined together to support candidates who support music. For musicians, it is critical that we support lawmakers and candidates who fight for issues we care about including:
- Stricter copyright and performance rights laws guaranteeing musicians are fairly compensated
- Stronger pension system so musicians have a secure retirement
- Increased National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funding
- Improved travel regulations making it easier to travel with instruments
- More music education so our next generation of musicians may learn their craft
Federal law prohibits dues money from being used for most political purposes. That’s why musicians have established TEMPO (Taskforce for Employment of Musicians Promotional Organization). TEMPO is solely comprised of small contributions given by AFM musicians—like you.
