A RESOLUTION
Urging the Congress of the United States to provide funding and
financial support to live performance venues and arts-related
nonprofit organizations especially distressed by the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WHEREAS, Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic affecting the
United States, live performance venues and arts-related
nonprofit organizations face unprecedented financial challenges,
uncertainty and prolonged closure; and
WHEREAS, Live performance venues, especially small
independently owned venues, were the first to close due to the
pandemic and are expected to be the last to reopen as they
require the gathering of large numbers of people; and
WHEREAS, Cancellation of events and the uncertain future of
the live performance industry has a broader impact not only on
the venue itself, but also on the surrounding community
negatively impacted by income lost due to the absence of event
attendees; and
