SF Arts Ed Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts CCA and the SEIU1021 Artist Space Trust SOMARTS Nobody's coming to save SF arts — the scene must save itself by Max Blue SFAC meeting from HELL Postcard writing info: Letter Template 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] City Hall Officials Daniel Lurie Mayor of San Francisco mayorspressoffice@sfgov.org Office of the Mayor, City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B.
