We are on our way to getting 10,000 advocates to speak out before the next mayor takes office, but we need your continued support.
Help us spread the word! Please post to Facebook and Twitter:
Chicago will elect a new mayor for the first time in 22 years. Tell the candidates the arts matter - www.artspowerchicago.com/sign-petition.Since we launched this campaign, thousands have told the candidates for mayor that our museums, theatres, orchestras, and dance companies power Chicago. All candidates have signed onto a set of principles recognizing the role of the arts industry in making Chicago a world-class city. And we have met with the Gery Chico, Miguel del Valle, Rahm Emanuel, and Carol Moseley Braun campaigns to talk about arts and arts education policies.
If the polls are accurate, Chicago may choose its next mayor on February 22 without the need for a run-off on April 5. We need your help to take full advantage of this week -- especially if there is not a run-off.
Help us make sure the voice of the arts and arts education is heard loud and clear before February 22. Post www.artspowerchicago.com/sign-petition to Facebook and Twitter.
For more ways to support the campaign, contact Scarlett Swerdlow at Arts Alliance Illinois at swerdlow@artsalliance.org or 312.855.3105 x13.
