I'm a resident of Western North Carolina, writing to say I’m furious and heartbroken that federal arts funding to our region was cut—right as we’re still recovering from Hurricane Helene. These aren’t luxury programs. They’re jobs. They’re community spaces. They’re vital to how we heal, how we stay connected, and how we rebuild after crisis. Cutting this funding now is cruel and senseless. I’m asking you, as my representative, to help fix this: Restore arts funding to our region Protect federal support for the arts Include creative recovery in disaster response This matters to me, and to so many of us here. Please show up for your constituents and make it right.
