This October, as we celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month, let us turn to the arts and humanities as a way to help America heal and grow.

Let us build back better by ensuring that our cultural workers and creators are back at work and thriving.

Let us ensure that everyone in America regardless of race, geography, ability, and socioeconomic status has equal and unrestricted access to the arts and humanities, and the opportunities they afford.

Americans for the Arts Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit membership organization affiliated with Americans for the Arts.

The Arts Action Fund is the largest grassroots arts advocacy network in America advancing the arts on both the electoral and legislative landscapes to promote more vibrant and livable communities throughout the country.

The Arts Action Fund's goal is to enlist and mobilize citizen activists that will help ensure that arts-friendly public policies are adopted at the federal, state, and local levels.

In addition, the Arts Action Fund Political Action Committee (PAC) provides direct support to pro-arts federal House and Senate candidates. The Arts Action Fund PAC strives to support as many Democratic and Republican pro-arts candidates as possible in all 50 states. Through the Arts Action Fund PAC, 100% of contributed funds directly support the campaigns of pro-arts federal candidates. What we accomplish in the future will help us towards our long-term goal for the future-a future where the federal government invests at least $1 per citizen in the nonprofit arts and local governments invest 5% of their local education budgets in arts education.
