On Friday, July 24, 2009, the House Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee passed their funding bill, setting the initial appropriation level for both the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and Arts in Education programs (AIE) at the U.S. Department of Education for fiscal year 2010. The Senate Appropriations Committee is preparing to take up this funding legislation within the next week, and Americans for the Arts needs your help to urge your Senators to match, or exceed, the funding levels for these programs set in the House.

I need art in my life; all children need to have access to the world of art. Please do not allow cuts to be made in funding for the arts!
