Dear [Name],
As a member of SF's arts
community, I'm asking for your support in ensuring artists have a voice in
charter reform. The 1932 charter included arts representation through the War
Memorial Board. Today, artists have no seat at your working group table, even
as the infrastructure that sustains creative life is eroding faster than policy
and philanthropy can respond.
Arts and culture generate
billions in economic activity and defines what makes SF livable. Could you
bring our voices into your deliberations?
We need a charter that serves
all San Franciscans, including the artists who make this city worth living in.
In solidarity,
[Your Name]
