State Advocacy

It Only Takes a Couple of Minutes To do a Good Deed –
Let Your State Representatives Know You Support Arts Funding

To determine what district you reside in, the Illinois District/Official Search website will provide that information by your address.  You can also use the Illinois Voting Registration site to provide your district numbers.

To help you contact your state and congressional representatives, sample letters have been provided to show how you can request support of art education initiatives and funding:

Please send a copy of your letters or email to Unit 5 (district@unit5.org) and Unit 5 Music Parents so we are aware of when the state and congressional representatives are being contacted.
