Arts Advocacy

• Sign up for the Rally by filling out our Registration Form
  
  
• Attendees should plan to make appointments with their legislators while in Harrisburg. The House generally goes into session at 11 AM and the Senate at 1 PM so appointments may be easier to make prior to the rally.  Don't be discouraged if you are not able to meet with your legislators and meet with staff instead.  Staff do relay your messages. If you are unable to schedule an appointment, stop by their offices and leave materials behind.  You can find your legislators office information on the General Assembly website.  If you want to stop by the Governor's office, it's located at 225 Main Capitol.
  
  
• Jump Street is offering free parking at their offices.  The Jump Street address is 100 N. Cameron Street, Harrisburg.  For walking directions from Jump Street to the Capitol, click here.
