Subject Line- Call for Donations: Musicians Need Emergency Relief NOW!

 

The Local 802 Musicians’ Emergency Relief Fund Needs Your Help

This is a true emergency for our community of 802 musicians. Please donate now to help musicians who in the face of a public health crisis find themselves out of work and in need of financial support.

While Local 802 AFM applauds government agencies and employers for taking the necessary steps to ensure our members, colleagues, and audiences are protected from the spread of coronavirus, the widespread cancellation of work has left many in our community of freelance musicians without income – and for some, puts them at risk of losing healthcare coverage.

Thankfully, the Local 802 Musicians’ Emergency Relief Fund is here for our members at this difficult time. But we anticipate a huge influx of applications for emergency assistance from the thousands of musicians who are now facing financial insecurity during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, more than ever, the NYC music community needs your help. Give what you can – any amount helps. But please give now!

DONATE ONLINE HERE
