Now more than ever, it is critical that we gather as advocates and reinforce the importance of music in federal education policy and relief efforts to a new Congress and Administration. We must support the expansion of music education opportunities in our home states and communities by advancing regional and local advocacy networks and activities. It is time again for NAMM members and partners to work to advance the right of every child to learn and grow with music. Together, we serve as advocates and defenders of that right.
